Polis campaign offers toy testing

Jared
Polis, one of three Democrats seeking the Second Congressional District
seat being vacated by Rep. Mark Udall, is offering free lead testing of
toys at two locations this week.

"Our
Administration has proven time and again that the importation of
harmful toys is of little concern to them," Polis said in a release.
"Our children are the future of this country and we have the
responsibility to protect them."

According to a campaign release, toys
will be tested using X-ray fluorescence to detect chemicals such as
lead that can cause brain damage, organ failure, and death in children.

Testing will be offered from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday in Northglenn, at 11455 N. Washington Avenue, Unit K.

On Friday, tests are offered from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the meeting room of the Boulder Public Library, 1000 Canyon Blvd.
