What seems like an eternity ago, there was a strange rash of stories about large caches of Legos washing up onshore in various places. Something about containers breaking open.
"In 1997, a cargo ship was struck by a rogue wave. Among 62 shipping containers aboard, one contained five million plastic toy bricks."
The article doesn't mention what was on the other shipping containers. You'd think that might be worth a single line in the article, given that much of what we consume isn't biodegradable.

Legos are now made in Jiaxing China btw.

Lego also has plans to eventually use an alternative material to plastic
Never heard about the Legos washing up on shore.

The headline of the link mentions how the legos are 'still washing ashore decades after...."
So there were a few subsequent stories mentioning washed up legos.
As an aside: Contraband is always mislabeled and/or intermixed with other product.
Thanks for the link.
