There is California Prop 65 Warning on this item, which seems to indicate lead paint. Anyone want to put in their two cents about this?

It is completely glazed. If item is chipped or cracked I would not use. Lol California is so concerned about everything!

Can you please provide a link regarding the warning? This is the first I'm hearing of this from 9 months of use.

The little brochure that comes with the set specifically states "this item MEETS or exceeds all F.D.A. And California Prop 65 standards for lead & cadmium content & is safe for food use."

Since I was worried I asked my husband who is chemist to proceeded in an analyze and the result was negative. No lead!Enjoy our tea!!!

That's the first I've heard of the lead paint possibility. I've been using this item for about a year now. Guess that's where the few brain cell have gone missing...Would like someone to find out definitely though.

I feel we should get our money back, if this is the case! How is this even legal?

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

I live in Wisconsin. California is another country, as far as I'm concerned.

All nutritional supplements in California contain this warning due to Prop 65. I would not worry about it, because ALL supplements say this.

The Product Detail section of the page, though, does include a Prop 65 warning, but I know from experience many companies check that on Amazon simply to cover their bases.

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

There is no mention of lead or any other content on the product. There is no CA Prop 65 label...only one that says it was made in Mexico.

I saw no warnings about lead or Prop 65, but even if there were such a warning it would be related to the original ore and would be gone in the final product. Lead boils below the melting point of iron and would be gaseous at the normal temp for pouring molten iron. Poof. No more lead. Lead hazards are overstated in many cases. Don't eat old paint or drink ancient gasoline. Or bite some bullets. You should be fine.

The box I got for my great grandkids said "made in USA" so I can only assume there is NO lead paint. It's the crap made in China that I do not buy that might be a danger. Hope this helps you.

look up prop 65 and it will tell you that there is a list of chemicals that have been known to cause birth deffects and cancer it does not just pertain to lead it is a very long list this is probably why the warning is there not just lead is being warned

I just became aware that lead is a problem in these crocks. I just had mine tested with an XRF gun and the result was 28ppm. I believe that is not a safe level... I'm sending mine back. I don't know if it came with a prop 65 warning b/c I already threw away all of the packaging.

Yes, there will be some lead, but there are very strict limitations on how much lead, especially in California. I believe the limit is no more than .25% by weight. So, yes, there is lead, but probably not enough to be worried about.

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.

There is no lead based paint on the train or any of the cars.. The lead warning is for the solder used in the electrical connections to the engine. So unless you tear the engine apart and physically eat the solder, there is no danger.. You would probably be in more danger of lead poisoning from handling fishing sinkers, but we live in a world full of warnings.. ie.. Knife.. Sharp, will cut, can cause death or dismemberment. California requires the following notice: WARNING: The wires of this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Plastics are produced from petroleum, therefore they cause cancer, according to the State of California.. Typically, during an average day you will come into contact with hundreds of these items.. your toothbrush, your hairbrush, your water bottle, your tv remote, the fob on your key-chain, your debit card, etc.. etc!

I'm sorry, am I missing something here? It says on the container that the pellets are lead.

Hi Thomas It is a long explanation about California's law! California is required by law to put the sticker on the bottle if they contain lead. Also if you go on Nature's Plus website, it tells you that lead is in the vitamin. You can e-mail them and they will explain it to you. I did a lot of research about the vitamins but ended up coming off of them! They really are an excellent vitamin but because of the lead mainly and I found out that according to my age and the required amounts of certain ingredients I needed, the amounts of their ingredients were way too high!! So I went back to my Centrum and got a supplement of b-12. That's really where all the energy they provide comes from!! They have a very high level of b's in their vitamins! Just pull up the ingredients, compare and do your homework! Hopes this helps!

The holding case says stainless steel. I believe it. Not sure about the CA prop 65. Then again, California is a whole diff planet. Hope this helps.

Many electrical devices have such a warning if the device is made with lead or other heavy metals, even though it's only trace amounts as would be used in brass alloy or lead solder on electrical connections. No risk to the consumer.
