New research found lead in baby food and earthenware cooking items are risks for parents and families.
Children under 6 are especially at risk of lead poisoning, partly because they put their toys, hands or other items in their mouths.
North Carolina officials found 500 cases across the U.S. of children who'd eaten cinnamon applesauce tainted with lead.
Researchers reviewed 2,000 cases of lead poisoning in California , Oregon , Washington state and New York City .
Everyday products such as cookware and spices accounted for up to 38% of lead poisonings.
Many of these products were found in immigrant or refugee communities.
It’s best to avoid foods purchased abroad from unregulated sources.
