sterilite storage boxes?

[LISA127]

I just received my Oct. 2004 issue of Reptiles in the mail today. On p.16, there is a question/answer on fasting crickets. In the answer, it states:

"New plastics, like that in styrene (the material of stiff, clear plastic shoeboxes) give off a variety of aromas, some of which can be toxic to small animals."

I am currently keeping a baby corn in a sterilite storage box. Now I'm worried. I have had him about 4 days now, and I thought the smell from the storage box was just a normal plastic smell. What do you think?

Thanks.
