You can't rent an apartment with lead paint.. But its ok for lunch? In fact I think I had one long long ago, did it too have lead? And what else is out there? Profits over kids is sad and parents should be outraged.
Lead-laden lunchboxes OK'd by government (http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/02/18/lunchbox.lead.ap/index.html)
(AP) -- In 2005, when government scientists tested 60 soft, vinyl lunchboxes, they found that one in five contained amounts of lead that medical experts consider unsafe -- and several had more than 10 times hazardous levels.
But that's not what they told the public.
Instead, the Consumer Product Safety Commission released a statement that they found "no instances of hazardous levels." And they refused to release their actual test results, citing regulations that protect manufacturers from having their information released to the public.
