Metal Whistle - Lead Content Issue JDT2 Human Resources, Task 2 January 22, 2014 Introduction During a recent routine test, the quality assurance department discovered an issue with a metal whistle that is part of the elementary toy collection. As part of the company’s quality assurance program, the metal whistle was subjected to routine X-ray fluorescence (XRF) tests that are designed to detect lead, arsenic, and heavy metals. The result of the test revealed that the metal whistle contained small traces of lead. The amount of lead contained in the whistles is higher than the U.S. legally acceptable limits by a marginal amount for children ages seven and younger. The company is currently preparing to ship a large quantity of the metal whistle to schools in South America at the end of the week, so the product arrives in time for the start of the new school year.
