Lead in Lipsticks






FDA to investigate report on lead levels in lipstick.


A consumer group says that certain popular, U.S.-made red lipsticks contain "surprisingly high levels of lead" that might be potentially dangerous, and the Food and Drug Administration said it would investigate, while cautioning that previous claims "have not generally been supported" by FDA analysis, the Associated Press says.
