Joy of Christmas

Consumers should know that if they are shopping for a Christmas tree this season they need to check the labels before they bring it home.

Several artificial trees and Christmas lights are being sold at Birmingham stores with a warning that the products could contain lead which is known to cause cancer and birth defects, among other things.

FOX6 On Your Side bought a pre-lit tree with one of the labels on it and took it to the Jefferson County Health Department for an environmental specialist to check it out! FOX6 News Investigative Reporter has the story.
