Another Terrorist PLOT .......... "Let's put lead in the Imperialists shopping bags"
By Stephanie Armour, USA TODAY
Lead found in some reusable grocery bags is raising concerns that the toxin could pose environmental or health concerns to consumers.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., is asking for a federal investigation into the reusable bags following a series by The Tampa Tribune. The newspaper found lead in bags purchased at Winn-Dixie, Publix, Sweetbay, Walmart and Target.
Reusable bags are often sold by retailers and used by consumers instead of plastic bags. They may be canvas or made of recycled plastic. In some areas, consumers are charged a fee if they use a plastic bag from a store.
The concern is that lead in bags could cause environmental problems in landfills or leach into food products that are kept in them.
