Are Reusable Bags Dangerous?
After a report finds high levels of lead in reusable grocery bags, a U.S. senator calls for the government to investigate
By Jaime Joyce
"The Tampa Tribune newspaper, in Tampa, Florida, bought more than a dozen bags from Florida supermarkets. They paid a lab to test the bags for lead. The results showed that certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern to health officials." said the Tampa Tribune.
Lead can't wear off on food but when the bags wear out or the color comes off the lead can freely come out and cause problems.
But the two stores took care of it and now they saved up more than 1 billion plastic and paper bags.
It is realy good what they did at the end. I love the word choice.
