High Lead Content - PVC and Vinyl

Interesting story on ABC yesterday regarding extremely high levels of Lead in colorful handbags made from PVC and Vinyl. Worst offender looked to be Tory Burch bags. (Lordy am I glad that I have never spent that kind of money for something so toxic...) Clearly this is a major issue with bags produced in the orient. The Q should offer some pre-emptive communication about the Lead content of their bags trimmed in PVC and Vinyl, don't you think? I don't plan on chewing on my purse straps but Lead can be absorbed through the skin.
