More than 85 percent of children's drinks contain so much lead they may exceed federal limits for young children.

Both organic and conventional juices were included in the lead-tainted products.  Of 146 products, 125 were contaminated with enough lead in a single serving to require a warning label under California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act.

The New York Daily News reports:

“Besides juices in flavors like apple and grape, the products included fruit cocktail mixes, packaged pears and peaches and some baby food”.
