Chinese are putting lead in vinyl products shipped to USA, legal too.
Does that plastic feel heavy? Course it does, has lead in it.
(bought a BBQ grill cover, too heavy for just plastic, has lead in it, need
a test kit)

Birds fell out of the sky as a whole town was poisoned by lead dust

A strange silence was the first clue that something was wrong. The
dawn chorus that usually woke residents of the picturesque coastal
town of Esperance, in Western Australia, had stopped. Then birds began
falling out of the sky.
Local people were alarmed when they came across dead lorikeets,
wattlebirds, honeyeaters and silvereyes in their parks and back yards.
Health officials told them not to worry. But they tested their
rainwater tanks, the main source of drinking water, and found
dangerously high levels of lead or nickel in more than a third.
