Description In the summer of 2023, Ecology partnered with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office to investigate lead and cadmium in school supplies. We purchased pencil pouches and backpacks that were marketed and sold as school supplies for children 12 years or younger and were available online to Washington residents.
NOTES Erratum for revised version (December 2024): A typo in Table A-1 (pg. 14) has been corrected. The brand listed as "Yucurem" has been corrected to "Chamair."
