According to the N.Y. Daily News:
TRENTON - You may now resume eating the squirrels.
In January, the Garden State warned hunters and residents near a toxic waste dump in Ringwood in North Jersey to limit their consumption of squirrel after the feds thought they found lead in a dead squirrel. Officials now say it was a false alarm.
The Environmental Protection Agency said a blender used to process the squirrel's tissue samples was defective - and that the lead believed to be in the squirrel actually came from a part of the blender.
That's good news for members of the Ramapough Mountain Indian Tribe and others who like squirrel meat.
It's bad news, however, for the squirrels.

Thank you for this VERY informative post. I am now looking into donating money to the EPA for new squirrel blenders. :)
