Unhappy 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.

Best (((Not laughing at ya, laughing with ya)))I can relate to Keith Richards too


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