I once posed this question to Consumer Affairs.  They told me that not even

Hmmm - if LEGO bricks were made of enameled steel I would suspect that one didn't know what one was talking about.

According to our chemical guys at work, only 10% of ABS worldwide is used in consumer goods (this includes toys.) So there must be a lot of other places it goes in the cold? (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
