Hannah Montana's Bag Pumped With Lead?

You may think that Miley Cyrus makes you ill for your own reasons, but one environmental-health watchdog says that some gear bearing her likeness and her Hannah Montana brand might pose a real health risk to kids.

According to a new report by the Center for Environment Health -- not a government agency, but a non-profit in Oakland -- five Chinese-made products in the Hannah Montana line were tested to have lead content in their paint, as much as 14 times the federal standard. Excessive lead content, leading to lead poisoning, has been known to cause irreversible neurological damage and kidney and heart disease -- much like Miley's music!

TMZ called the Consumer Product Safety Commission to ask if any of the products had been recalled, but haven't heard back yet. Nor have we heard from Miley's rep. Disney says, "We require all licensed producers of products using Disney characters to test their products and to comply with all applicable product safety laws and standards."

31. Anyone who thinks Miley Cyrus is untalented, is simply a jealous idiot. The girl can act, sing, and is a very entertaining performer. I dare you to watch an episode of "Hannah Montana" and not laugh! Miley has the charisma, charm, skill, and energy to perform her music LIVE (and fully dressed, might I add), unlike most of these poptart, wannabe singers. I am FAR from conservative, but Miley Cyrus is an excellent role model for my 7 year old daughter. Her music is inspiring, and packed with positive, empowering messages for young girls. Quit picking on the child! What has your kid done lately?

34. Personally, I know that Miley doesn't really look like she does, and that is why I dislike her SO much. Everyone in Hollywood has a painted on face and a touched-up body. Hello! When is the last time you people saw someone who actually looked like the stars do? She is so young, yet she is trying to look more like 22 than her own age. Oh well, she is on the fast track to a Brittany Spears lifestyle and I could care less.

36. All you people baggin out China, remember this. If it wasn't for the out-sourcing of cheap labour to China (and others) none of you (living in the "civilized western world") would enjoy the lifestyle that you currently do now. I'm not saying it's a good thing (in fact it's ruining many developing nations) but just remember that the only way we can live the life we lead is by the exploitation of others.

Oh and if it's her image on the product then yes, she IS responsible for the lead. Maybe she should have had her people do a bit of research into Disney's business practices before she ever signed a contract with them. Oh wait thats right her caring only goes so far as the dolloar signs. I guess it's just an added "bonus" that she another no-talent plastic princess. Can everybody say NEPOTISM!

37. lol,
These idiots trash a teenage girl, One of the few in Hollywood left that is not trash and you guys are buying into it. They want you to reply in kind or not. It does not matter. You are adding content to this site and allowing morons who have nothing better to do but rip apart a kid in order to get the Alexa up. I'm just as guilty. Fact is if you have nothing better to do than slam a kid you are one of the people that are ruining the internet for everyone else. If you don't have anything good to say, Just shut up! DMZ, I think there are enough celebs over 18 you can pick on. Why dont you start a new trend and let a kid be a kid without all the pressure of people like you ripping her apart and eating up her self esteem. Then maybe she wont break and end up like so many other child stars these days. You have a nice site! You don't need to write things like this for ratings or search engine placement. I was diggin this site until I saw this. lol, People wonder why celebs get so messed up! Your reading it folks! Way to go DMZ, Your just another low life ratings hooker....No class at all!
