Home lead test kit battle between CU/CPSC
 Today the CPSC announced that home lead test kits were "unreliable." Meanwhile, Consumers Union, publishers of Consumer Reports, countered that
Three of the five home lead-testing kits we tested at Consumer Reports were useful though limited screening tools if you are worried about specific items in your home. We advise: if you can get one of the lead kits Consumers Union found to be better than the others, it could become one of your layers of defense against toxic hazards. But it shouldn't be the only one.
