races in the 200 meter butterfly finals. that would put phelps in some very rare company tying him with the gymnast for most career olympic medals. the now 77-year-old gymnast that she might even watch phelps try to make history tomorrow. he holds the world record of the butterfly event and the two-time champion. he has a really good chance. for more on the olympics, including how michael phelps is still looming large, go to nbc bay area and scroll down to the london 2012 section. >> okay. switching gears, we'll talk about lead. it can be extremely toxic to your body. we've heard about lead, paint, even candy. more items you wouldn't expect. in shoes and your purses. the center for environmental health tested hundreds of handbags from the bay area's most popular stores and found high levels of lead in purses and wallets. nbc bay area investigator asked

why these products are still being sold and why you cannot always test the warning labels. >> tags like this are showing up in purses, backpacks, shoes to name a few. you might not even notice them. the tags warn us the items may contain lead or other chemicals known to cause cancer. as we learned, the labels can be confusing. inle cases, they're missing from the products with the highest amounts of lead. >> do you know what it means? >> do you read the labels a lot? do you know what they mean? >> we asked shoppers at dd's discounts and big lots about these warning labels. >> have you seen it before? >> reporter: the tags are attached to purses and shoes sold at dds and sandals sold at big lots. california's prop 65 requires businesses to notify customers about, quote, significant chemicals in the products they purchase. for these bags and sandals, the fine print warns people the

items may contain lead. a chemical known to cause cancer and birth defects. the shoppers we watched didn't notice the warnings. so we bought some of the bags and sandals and took them to a state certified lead assessor for testing. >> this reads through the pigment. >> reporter: more on those results in a moment. >> we want this problem to be taken care of. >> reporter: carolyn is the director of research for the center for environmental health. they are trying to lose the labels and the lead all together. in 2010 they scored a legal victory getting hundreds of brands to agree to limit lead in their products to 300 parts per million. in a recent investigation, the staffer found much higher amounts of lead in bags sold at one in four stores they visited and they found the bags with the most lead had no warning labels. >> is it cheaper to make these items with these chemical? >> we have seen purses at all different price levels that contain lead. >> reporter: cdc studies have

linked lead to infertility, impaired mental function. they said in purses, the lead is usually found in the brightly colored pigments in the top layer of the material. >> all day long you're carrying your purse, oipgt, closing it. every time touch it a small amount of that lead gets on your fingers. imagine yourself eating a potato chip or putting on some lip balm. that lead is going into you. >> reporter: remember the bag we bought? the red purse. >> 552 parts per million. >> the black purse. and the pink sandal. above 300 parts per million. all of the items had warning labels that said the items may contain lead or other cancer causing chemical. >> this can be very confusing. >> yes. she is livid these products are still being sold. >> i didn't even realize the label was there until i got home. >> reporter: why are these

products still on store stefls in in part, there is no guideline for how much lead is allowed in something like a purse or a pair of shoes. >> even though the consumer product safety commission regulations don't currently extend to those handbags, they probably should. >> the toxicologist says it is unclear how much is too much when it come to lead exposure. he said eating or breathing the metal is thought to be more dangerous than touching it. >> if you can avoid it, you should. there is no safe exposure for a lot of these things. >> big lots did not respond to our request for comment. a spokesman for dd's tells us it requires them to comply withstand dards and is look sboo the issue and it will keep selling the items in question. the company is part of agreement with ceh to limit lead in products. for shopper charlotte, even a trace am of lead is too much. >> we have to be as careful as we can. >> if you have questions about a product you bought, you can get it tested for free at the center
