Radioactive Metals

Dear RadSafers:

Local activists are concerned about the use of "radioactive metals" in
consumer products and household items such as "belt buckles, bed frames,
strollers and appliances." They reference an activist group called Public
Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project, 215 Pennsylvania Ave. SE,
Washington, DC 20003. They have asked for letters to be sent to John
Karnak, U.S. EPA Cleanup and Reuse Center, 401 M Street SW, Washington, DC
20460 by a deadline of January 31.

Can anyone enlighten me about this issue? 

Thanks...

Otto
