Lipsticks may harm your fetuses?

The world is either getting crazier or I am getting more and more paranoid due to the influx of news available to me. Read what ABC news has to say about lead in lipsticks:
The coalition’s report found that 20 of the 33 lipsticks it sent to be tested contained lead. Higher levels were found in products made by L’Oreal, Cover Girl and Christian Dior.
They found traces of lead in lipsticks. And here’s the warning issued to pregnant women :
Experts say pregnant women should be extra aware when it comes to lead-tainted products. “Lead is a proven neurotoxin. It can cause learning disabilities. It’s also linked to miscarriage and infertility,” Malkan said.
Bailey advises that all pregnant women consult their physician before choosing their cosmetics.
Are you going to do that? Ask your doctors about the cosmetics you are going to use? I don’t know. Better to be safe than sorry, no? Less make-up, perhaps?
