The Steelworkers Union -- which is running a stoptoxicimports.org campaign -- has issued a sharp rebuttal of the CPSC release (previous blog) calling home lead test kits "unreliable."

"This agency, which sat on its hands for years while literally millions of lead-tainted products flooded this country from China and other unregulated economies, is now preoccupying itself with discrediting lead testing kits -- one of the only real tools parents have for protecting their children in the face of the nation's failed trade policies," said USW President Leo W. Gerard.
