Some Dagoba chocolates recalled due to lead contamination

Here's a disturbing little tidbit I ran across: Oregon-based Dagoba has issued a recall on some of its chocolate products due to high levels of lead. You can read the news here, and see what the company has to say here. It seems like they are on top of the problem. Still, between the lead in lunchboxes scandal, the recent tragic death of a child due to a lead-contaminated piece of toy jewelry, and now this, it's enough to make you want to bubble-wrap your kids. Then again, as someone who lives in a very old house, and will very soon be moving to an even older house (1854!), I am highly lead paranoid due to all of the ancient paint we live with. My poor kids look like little pin cushions from all the times I've gotten them tested "just to make sure." Roll up those sleeves, kiddos, if I read any more stories like this mommy might need another test just to put her mind at ease.
