I’m still not understanding how lead got into diaper bags but then again I’m still trying to figure out how it gets into toys and why we aren’t doing anything about it other than reporting. Wake up America and start purchasing American-made or at least from countries that are more trustworthy.
The bags containing the high levels of lead were purchased at Kmart, WalMart and Babies R Us.
“…Three diaper bags with high lead levels in the changing pad were from Kmart, including a Disney Baby “Winnie the Pooh” bag, a Baby Got Bag leopard print bag, and a “Baby Necessities” brand bag. A fourth with lead in the changing pad was a “George” store-brand bag from WalMart. A “Red” brand bag from Mimi Maternity and a Carter’s “Out ‘N About” bag from Babies R Us had high lead levels in other parts of the bag.”
Here are two news articles detailing further information, including pictures:
