(195 posts)10. The same warning
applies to strings of Christmas lights - look at the box or the tag on the cord. It is in the plastic from which the cord is made. I'm not sure if the toxic substance can be absorbed through your skin, but if it's on your hands it can easily be transferred to your mouth or to your food.
At least it's labeled. GM food isn't.
