Child in Wake Forest poisoned with lead from a popular snack

Imagine your child is sick and you don't know what's wrong. Then a routine blood test at the doctor's office reveals she has lead poisoning. A Wake Forest couple recently experienced this nightmare. After testing everything in their environment, they learned a snack food was the source of the lead. WRAL's 5 On Your Side team investigated this case. Producer Pritchard Strong joins us with what they learned.
