Does anybody know if the small clothespins sold with this item are painted with lead based paint? Thank you in advance for any reply.

I don't recall getting clothes pins with mine. Sorry I can't help. I'd pay close attention to where this is manufactured - that could give a clue.

Hi Sandy,In the older pieces made in theUS there is no lead, but the newer pieces are being made in China and do have small amounts of lead in them. I hope this helps.Bella

They are painted. But we returned. The fiberboard was splintering into little pieces of sharp painted wood right out of the box. Totally crap quality item that is dangerous for any aged kid.

I believe it is a substance called anti-seize to help protect the threads from seizing up and getting stuck. Don't believe it has any lead in it though.

Some reviews mentioned them falling apart when washed, so you might want to avoid tie dying. We put cardboard inside and used colorful sharpie markers. Kids stenciled or drew their own thing. Then we gave them the choice to either leave them as they were or drip alcohol over the drawing. Markers then ran and gave an effect similar to tie dye. This is not the website I used but it looks even better. We only needed them for very light duty so it didn't matter that they were cheap. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=enISuVlmD6M

This is a better question for the manufactor ... However, we used regular wall paint and no stains or schlacs because we didn't want the boards to be too slippery. They seem to be in the same condition we received them in for now, as for cleveland weather wear and tear - it remains to be seen :) we still LOVE them and the paint we used has kept them in the same great quality as how they originally came

Hello, no the parts are not pre-painted ... They are white or light grey flat, ready to be painted. :)

It is a metallic board with magnetic properties, so it uses magnetic "pins" to hold items to the board. Pushpins would not work, and might scratch the board.

I use a clothes pin. The kind with the spring. Or, you could buy the clips they make for these. I'm thinking about it. But the clothes pin works for right now.

They are pretty strong magnets. I suggest to use sharpies to color instead of the paint they give you, it just makes a mess.

Are these really lead paint?? Best tweezers in the world though, just don't eat them ;)

I bought the one with a clasp. I have not had it tested for lead. Never thought of it, but good question.

I painted mine with geometric patterns to match our grandsons playroom . I did not do anything before I painted. I put on a dealer after I was done to make sure the paint did not get worn off. I have have it this way for over 6 months and no problems so far and it looks great!!

I would check the website. When I was ordering it I remember reading a lot of material about these items. I think I would have noticed if it were lead and would not order it.

The letters themselves are plastic and have magnets molded inside the back of each piece. I don't know if they contain lead but if so it would beMinimal as lead is non magnetic.

Hello, In checking the product I cannot find that the item has a warning for "lead". The item does have a "Choking Hazard" Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. The item is made of hard plastic and metal parts. Thank you, Customer Service, Office Playground.
