From Consumerist:

Consumerist's ongoing lead recall tally has reached 14,431,550 products recalled just for lead in the first 10 months of 2007.

No toys, no problem! I prefer to spend the holidays reading back issues of The Texas Observer on my seaside patio anyway.

From KHOU

An average of over 30 percent of the children tested every year have lead poisoning. Galveston’s poisoning cases are six times higher than the state average.

Aw, man.

Earlier study revealed that some Mexican pottery contained lead. If a pottery pitcher was used to servre an acidic drink such as orange juice, lemonade, etc., the acid leached the lead out of the pottery and into the liquid drink.
