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. The story ran in September of 2005 (I think). Many of the

autism groups may have old posts in the archives from that time. If

you are not sure about an item: go to Home Depot (or similar store),

and ask a salesperson for a lead test kit (they have stuff like this

for paint testing). Buy a kit and test your bag. Better safe than

sorry, IMO.
