There is an article on CNN about vinyl lunchboxes. A study has found that one in five lunchboxes contain unacceptable amounts of lead. As you may already know lead exposure in children can lead to learning disabilities, behavioral problems, stunted or slowed growth amongst other things. There are already a fair few sources of lead in our environment but at least luckily this is one source of lead that is easily avoided by using a different type of lunch box (perhaps one made of cloth?)
