Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has demanded that several lunchbox manufacturing companies and retailers remove lunchboxes containing lead from store shelves or face legal action.
Certain manufacturers and retailers have been distributing and selling lunchboxes containing lead -- one in particular with significantly higher lead levels than allowed under state environmental and consumer protection laws, Blumenthal's office said. The lead is found in the lunchbox liner - in the vinyl, where it is a commonly used stabilizer.
