Lead in Reusable Shopping Bags

Recent tests have shown questionable amounts of lead in the bags we use as we try to help the environment. A few supermarkets have even stopped carrying some of these bags. There seems to be a lot of mixed views on this one. Once again, we try to take a step forward, and just go right on back! When will they test products for safety BEFORE, they hit the shelves?

More info in the links below.

Don't forget to wash those bags, too!

And remember, a little green always helps!
