My husband love this, however it's early in the new year.... He has not got to sink it yet but we look forward to it soon.

I don't know about the lead. But I have one in my daughters bathroom. I haven't had problems with it.

Not as far as I know. There are no metal fittings, all plastic and the hose expands when water enters and collapses when water is let out.I do not know of any lead or metal that does that.

I did not make sure they didn't have lead. I was A assuming since they were a major brand, Anchor Hocking, they wouldn't have lead based paint. They really cute

They sink. And they get heavier and heavier as they fill with water. The magnet can't pull them up. Best to "pretend" there is water and have a dry, imaginary pond..

Im sorry, I don't know if they are lead free. They are nice thou very lite weight so I don"t think they would have lead in them.

I couldn't guarantee they are pure Pb, but they ARE soft (If I squeeze one hard, the skirt flattens, seem softer than 60/40 solder).

They are silver probably stainless steel. I am using mine for marine use on fresh water. It may be different for salt water.

I don't know. The letters and numbers are not very thick - and they do not have a heavy 'suction' (can't think of a better word!) so I doubt if they have a lot of lead. You could ask Djeco/Wooden Magnet Play Set if they have the answer. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

This question brought up the same concern for me as an owner. I looked at the sprite web site, and could not find anything. I looked up some rules about use of lead in water supply. In California, where Sprite is located, there are rule against using lead in anything that gets wet from the supply side of water. Then I called Sprite this morning and asked them. The person who answered the phone told me the brass used to make this unit is lead free. Hope this helps.

I'd be shocked if they had lead in them. They're silicone, not metal. And they're food grade.

Yes they are. I checked them with a lead testing kit and they are fine. I love my set!

The only information I found was on squidoo.com that said that all of their dinnerware meets the FDA Standards for lead and calcium(?) releases, so it's "perfectly safe". I assume that implies they are not 100% lead and cadmium free, but are minimal. Personally, I'm really happy with them. I ordered them in 4 different colors. Hope that hellps.

They are rather flimsy. They are not made of hard plastic or resin. I have a clear lightweight catch tray underneath. You need to use two hands to carry it.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

I seriously hope not. And if there is, I don't think the manufacturer would be advertising that fact. Feel free to get them tested and I'll join in the class action lawsuit if you find lead (or chromium or uranium) in them!
