OHA Warns Of Lead In Children's Skin Cream

(Portland, OR) -- High levels of lead have been found in samples of children's skin cream. The product is called Diep Bao and it's used to treat eczema. The Oregon Health Authority says two Portland-area children were found to have elevated blood lead levels. Tests on the skin cream found unsafe levels of lead. The Food and Drug Administration was alerted and they're investigating. Only two tubes of the cream have been tested so far, and it's unknown whether it's a wider problem. Health officials are advising families to stop using the cream until more testing is done.
