Are you claiming the plastic *itself* has lead in its formulation? "

Couldn't be plainer.

Lead is both a preservative and softener in plastics. Even in
the interior trim of that shiny new car. Ever wonder what you're
inhaling when you sit in the driver seat and savor that new car
smell? Feeling dazed & confused?

Ironically, lead has been largely removed from the solder inside
electronics - where it is of least harm, and it's been absent from
paint for over three decades, yet it is present in nearly EVERY
PLASTIC ITEM WE FRICKN TOUCH!

I often feel like I have lead in my bottom. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ
