Lead in cinnamon - pumpkin spice buzzkill

Shocked to learn there are high levels of lead in over 1/3 of ground cinnamon (and cinnamon spice blends, baby pouches, etc). The cinnamon in my cabinet was on the recall list. Lead is especially dangerous for babies/children. Only a few brands were tested as safe to use including: Whole Foods 360, Morton&Bassett, Louisa Organic, and Sadif. Bought an extra coffee/spice grinder (~$20) to make ground cinnanon from cinnamon sticks to be extra safe moving forward. Sharing in case others are unaware or concerned.
