"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.
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.
