It is hard to believe, it is already time for back-to-school shopping. With all the excitement and a huge variety of products, let's not forget that some of theses school supplies might contain lead and other toxins. Here are some tips for lead free, child-friendly shopping:
- Choose items that are vinyl-free.
- Avoid backpacks that have shiny vinyl designs as they often contain lead.
- Buy paperclips made just from metal; avoid the ones coated in vinyl as they may contain lead.
- Buy lunchboxes that are lined with non-vinyl materials. Metal and cloth lunch containers are also available.
- Use water bottles that are either made from glass of stainless steel.
- Purchase items made from recycled cardboard, paper, wood, and metal, or ones that are covered in cloth.
- Look for lead-free puzzles and other educational toys
- Reuse the things you already have but make sure they do not contain lead. An easy and inexpensive way of doing it is to use a lead test kit.
