Results in for March Badness Tournament for College Promotional Products
Even though the University of Connecticut and University of Kentucky faced off in the NCAA finals last week, each school had a product in the March Badness Shameful Sixteen. University of Kentucky toddler shoes from Target were found to be high in lead and chlorine with low levels of arsenic and bromine while the UConn can cooler from a local bookstore that was made in Mexico tested positive for PVC with high levels of chlorine, especially in the imprint. While the can cooler tested negative for phthalates, it also contained a medium level of tin as well as low levels of lead, arsenic and bromine. However, both were eliminated by more hazardous products in the Shameful Sixteen.
