What's for lunch?

Two years ago the US federal government tested a number of plastic lunch boxes for, amongst other things, lead content and reported that they found no problems. However they refused to release their test results. Unfortunately for the government it would seem that they were telling a porky and someone with access to the data leaked it to the Associated Press. The actual results weren't nearly as good as they had said. They had found significant problems with 20% of the samples. Oops.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, who ostensibly is there to protect consumers, still stands by their results which gives them the appearance at least of wanting to protect corporate interests more than the public.
