Frightening, I had many of those Tupperware products. My children ate on them almost daily. Makes me wonder if this kind of toxicity can be passed down genetically. I have a grandson with severe, non verbal autism. He never ate from this plates or cups but his mother did.
Also, how about all the opaque Tupperware sold as pantry storage.
