"My son and I were checking out the back to school goods. I was excited to find some stainless steel Thermos containers in themes acceptable to my 6 year old (Transformers and Batman, of course). We then moved on to lunch totes. There were a lot of PVC free options available which was great, but I was disturbed by the sheer number of lunch totes that had Microban."
