WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic lawmakers said Thursday a report by The Associated Press raised "serious questions" about test methods conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission for unsafe amounts of lead in children's vinyl lunch boxes.
"If the implications are true, we are appalled," wrote House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., and three other Democrats. They wrote to CPSC acting Chairman Nancy Nord and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach.
The lawmakers said they were considering holding hearings and drafting legislation to address the issues raised in the story.
