Lead? Should I be concerned about this particular product?
291331
Some of mattel's products come with or without the Prop 95 warning which states the product may have toxic chemicals in it. It was not labeled on the page like some other mattel products on Amazon. Best would be to email the company for an answer which they have to provide you with. But then again, its coming from China so who the hell knows if that is even the truth. If you are concerned about this or other items there is a lead testing kit that easily detects the presence of lead on clothes or toys.

There is no warning or mention of lead anywhere on the label. It says it's grown organically in India on small family farms. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. There's a certain amount of trust involved in organic certified in another country. Do you know where the lead comes from?

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

I doubt it has lead since it's hooked up to your water supply but I'm not a plumber. Check with the manufacture.

I wouldn't think so. It is the same thing as the lead in a common wood lead pencil that kids have been chewing on for many decades with no harm to them. Might be a different story with it wet because graphic is dry so it has to have some else in the product.

I assumed they were lead free because it would have been noted on the package. Check with manufacturer.

Seems like I read it contained lead, but wanted to warn you not to waste your money as mine only lasted a few weeks..i must say it was pretty while it lasted..

Pretty sure it is sealed lead acid. It would be lighter if one of the others.

It may contain lead... shocking, most things do.... however the CPSC, Consumer Products Safety Commission, limits the amount that is an acceptable level to 100ppm (parts per million). Having worked in the toy industry, i can attest that this item has undergone product testing, and would not be allowed on amazon if they do not provide passing reports.Also, I saw that someone else commented that theirs stopped working shortly after purchase, and I must think it was just a faulty item. We've had ours for almost a year, its been used pretty much daily. 2 year old just banging on the keys and it is still going strong. The only thing is that now the mic is a little muffled, which honestly is not a bad thing ....

I was too!!!! I haven't touched it since I read that! Someone on here said that it contains very little lead but ANY is too much to me!

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

I was not aware the product contained lead! Will have to check into it further...

I assume it is lead free as i use it every day, for definite answer, check with manufacture. I do not think it would contain any lead as no body would buy it, if there is any health risk involved.

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.

There is nothing on the product itself to indicate if there is lead in the product (no text saying "lead free"), and I didn't keep the wrapping so I don't remember if the wrapping had information on lead. I have had no issues with the product, but I, too, have not done a lead test.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

I don't know whether it is exactly lead-free. You would need a lab test for this answer if you don't trust the seller.
