Re: OT: quality of lunch bags

" Just be careful with your purchase. Good Morning America had this big

spiel on the fact that many kids' lunchbags/box liners tested positive

for lead. "

Either Land's End or LL Bean or both that were guaranteeing that their

insulated lunch boxes are free of lead.

I bought some at target that had lead. It was a mainstream brand- I

think igloo. I called igloo and first they said no lead and then I

questioned them further and they connected me to someone that said

acceptable levels of lead. Robs mom

That's interesting. Ours are Igloo brand. I used a lead testing kit

on them and it did not show positive. I wonder what the level of

detection is with those kits.

Now you've got me wondering whether they do actually have lead in

them, but that it's below detectable levels...

disney princess lunchbag. Here is the link to learn more about the issue:

I emailed them and faxed them multiple times with no response. Then I

called and the first person told me no lead. So I said where can I get

this in writing. Then when connected to the second person, the second

person said acceptable levels of lead. Then I said please provide me in

writing how much lead, why acceptable, anything on this and here is my

address and name. igloo said that they would send. Igloo never sent

anything. I returned the used lunch boxes to target with copy of my

correspondence to igloo.

Hope this helps
