Most Toxic Items to Buy at the Dollar Store

Kitchen Utensils

Especially plastic ones are some of the most toxic items that are found at discount stores. Those black slotted spoons you dip into your food, they contains high levels of bromine, a flame retardant. Bromine has been linked to cancer, birth defects and impaired brain development and has been banned in the U.S. So how come they keep showing up in our stores? They are actually made from recycled plastics which can contain high levels and our regulatory  system often misses them.
