I was reminded the other day, when I came across a warning about lead paint &
lead poisoning, that vinyl mini-blinds are sometimes (often?) a source of
lead contamination. Since they have been mentioned on this list as a cheap
source of plant markers, I thought I'd pass along the warning. These aren't
limited to "old" mini blinds....this contamination is found in vinyl mini
blinds imported from Mexico and Asia and I found alerts as recently as 2010
and it was very common before 1997. You can find many links if you do a
search for "mini blinds lead" on google.
