Vintage (c. 1970s) Fisher Price Sesame Street Ernie:
Red body:
- Lead (Pb): 30 +/- 13 ppm
- Cadmium (Cd): 3,153 +/- 65 ppm.
Orange head:
- Lead (Pb): ND (non-detect)
- Cadmium (Cd): 3,394 +/- 74 ppm.
Due to the very high cadmium levels this would not be considered a safe toy for a child by modern standards.

Is there any way to make them safe? Like sealing with something?
