Get the lead out of your kid's lunch box
The last place you want lead to be present is near your kid's food, but that was just the case a few years ago, when many soft, vinyl lunch boxes were found to contain lead, some at high levels. According to Green Living Tips, even though lead was found in many soft vinyl lunch boxes, government scientists at the Consumer Safety Product Commission stated that they found "no instances of hazardous levels." Why? They reasoned that kids don't chew on lunch boxes and the food is usually wrapped.
If you'd like a little more peace of mind rather than trusting your kid not to chew on the lunch box, or would prefer that lead not be that close to lunch regardless, check out the PVC-free lunch boxes in the gallery below!

Thanks for the additional Lead-free lunchbox options, I am referring my readers to them. I love the BuiltNY Munchlers -- very cute! Have you seen them in person and if so, are they roomy? I also have some lead-free lunchboxes listed at my site http://www.xobobox.com if you are interested in more options. Thanks!
