Alert*for children. lead found in lunch boxes
This is really an awful thing. My friend just sent me this alert. her son has been using the same lunch box for a year and now has to go for a lead poisoning test.
They are finding lead in both metal and vinyl lunch boxes.
Here is the website with the list of lunch boxes. I know I won't be getting 'any' lunch boxes for lil' guy.

I never could understand this lead poisoning stuff.
Such small amounts they say can do so much harm, yet I would chew on and eat fishing weights when I was a boy. from the things I have read, I should be dead.

Thank you for posting the link. While a "normal" child might not be affected, for delicate children for a wide variety of reasons, this could be potentially deadly, therefore important to get checked out.

I've wondered the same things myself. I think FWR has the "Best"(pun intended) answer.
