Disney-themed reusable shopping bags sold at Safeway carry more than 15 times the federal limit for lead in children's products, an environmental watchdog group has found.

The Center for Environmental Health, a California-based non-profit that crusades against the use of toxic chemicals in consumer products, reported the high levels of lead after it tested the bags, which feature "Toy Story" and "Cars" illustrations. The group also said this is not the first time Disney has allowed lead-tainted toys, baby products, and other items to be sold.
