Mum terrified after discovering her old Tupperware is toxic and contains lead and arsenic
YouTubers accused of ‘child abuse’ for 'punishing' daughter, 2, with cold showerMum turns FREE bedframe into daughter's dream Toy Story bed using £1 paint samplesSponsoredTamara added: “Of additional concern is that many of these vintage Tupperware pieces have been kept in regular daily service for their 40+ years of life and may have considerable wear and deterioration as a result of decades of heavy regular use.
“So even if they were not leaching at the time of manufacture they may be leaching now – four or five decades later.”Her words of warning were taken on board by one mum, who was horrified to discover she had the same vintage measuring cups.“She has these exact measuring cups and she regularly gives them to her toddler to play with.
“Given he is a toddler and these cups are plastic, he likes to chew on them and they are now covered in bite marks. “This is a terrific example of why we should not have items like this in our homes when there are readily available safer alternatives.”Even if people aren’t using the items, but are just collecting them, Tamara still said this was risky.
She added: “I specifically discourage collecting items like this merely for the sake of collecting as well , because a child might play with them at some point in the future, and regardless of whether or not the potential negative health implications of Lead in vintage plastic has been studied at this point, it is not worth any potential risk.”
