SETTLEMENT ON CADMIUM JEWELRY: An Alameda County Superior Court in Oakland, Calif. on Friday approved a $1 million settlement of a lawsuit by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) and 26 retailers and suppliers. In addition to the payment, the settlement sets strict limits on cadmium levels in jewelry sold after Dec. 31, according to the consent judgment.
