is no evidence that these bags pose an immediate threat to the public, and none
of the bags sold by New York City’s best-known grocery stores have been
implicated. But reports from around the country have trickled in recently about
reusable bags, mostly made in China, that contained potentially unsafe levels
of lead. The offending bags were identified at several stores, including some
CVS pharmacies; the Rochester-based Wegman’s grocery chain recalled
thousands of its bags, made of recycled plastic, in September. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

seeping into groundwater after disposal; over time, however, paint from the bag
