Fellas be careful of what kind of lipstick your girl wears… and what part of your body she touching with it!!! LOL
ACCORDING TO HUBPAGES:
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a report detailing lead levels in hundreds of lipstick brands and colors. Trace levels, which the FDA argues do not pose a risk to wearers, were detected in 400 lipsticks, in ranges of less than 0.026 ppm to 7.19 ppm (parts per million). The average was 1.11 ppm. The US does not define a maximum lead level in lipstick, but maintains the tested levels are safe. Canada, on the other hand, does impose an upper limit, but, at 10 ppm, all the FDA-tested lipsticks would clear this standard. There is no FDA recall of lipsticks at this time. However, you can review those lipsticks that showed trace lead levels in the table below. All tested lipsticks were purchased from retail shops in February 2010 and July 2010.
