Lead is a naturally occurring element that can be found throughout the environment, but Joël Mertens, a product environmental impacts expert at the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, said the levels found in Marketplace's lab results were beyond environmental contamination, or the small amounts clothes are exposed to unintentionally during the manufacturing process. Children and pregnant people are more vulnerable, and infants and children are the most at risk, according to Health Canada's website. Lead can cause damaging health effects to the brain, heart, kidneys and reproductive system. Here, she’s holding a purse from Shein that contained over five times the amount of lead that Health Canada considers safe in children’s products.

Marketplace purchased a kids raincoat from AliExpress for just $6 US. Tops are available for under $5, sneakers for under $10. These companies boast hundreds to thousands of styles updated daily at rock-bottom prices. Marketplace found garments containing elevated levels of chemicals from three fast-fashion retailers: Zaful, AliExpress and Shein. "We are committed to continuous improvement of our supply chain," the company said. Shein, which sells products both under its own brand and from third-party suppliers, sent an emailed statement to Marketplace saying it had removed the purse and jacket from its app, and would stop working with relevant suppliers until the issue was resolved. "I'm alarmed because we're buying what looks cute and fashionable on this incredibly short fashion cycle. What we're doing today is to look very short-lived enjoyment out of some articles of clothing that cost so much in terms of our … future health and environmental health.
