Tamara,
Hi and hope you are getting stronger and have some relief from the pain of your recent surgery.
I was wondering if you’ve ever tested the yellow shapes that go into the Tupperware shape-o ball? Older , not new.
Thanks
Renee
Was this question about the Tupperware shape sorter answered? I did a search and did not find one. Being white tupperware measuring cups have lead and the shaper sorter is red and blue my guess is there is lead it it as well. I saved so many toys like this and duplo’s,, Lego’s, tinker toys, fisher price cottage, schoolhouse, bus, people etc from the 80’s (30 plus) years and now have grandkids and to find out they have lead and other heavy metals is disheartening to say the least!
Thanks Tamara! You are amazing .
Is this test apply for the new pink version?
