How dangerous is this adapter? Notice is included that it is made with lead and hands must be washed after using.

I have used one for over 8 years until it failed and then bought a replacement. I have no concern about any lead that may be in it. There are solder joints on the inside electrical connections. The way I used it in camping I should be more concerned about having clean hands after fishing, cleaning fish, hiking and setting up a campsite. I really feel that the concern is so minimal that you shoould also be concerned if someone tried to swallow the recepticle end or the wire.

Hello, I've used this adapter quite often and have never had a problem. I never noticed the notice!

Never had a problem with the adapter. I never read the part about the lead.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

Yeah, but it might take a little longer than a higher amped DC adapter. And it will hear up and smell like burning plastic. I fear this is a fire hazard and threw one away cause I just didn't trust it.

They have lead in them. If you child washes there hands after using hour fine. The warnings are there due to who will be using them all metal tools have some lead

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

Here is what I found: Virtually all brass has lead in it. Brass is composed of copper and zinc, and they throw some lead in it for machinability. The lead percentage varies, but is usually around 2%. It can be as high as 7%. The EPA and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) states that brass fittings used for human water consumption have to contain less than 8% to be safe and to be considered "lead-free." During the machining process, the lead acts as a lubricant. The end result is that a micro-thin layer of lead gets smeared over the machined surface. This amount should not cause concern, but it is possible to remove it if desired. Simply mix white distilled vinegar (5% acetic acid) with 3% hydrogen peroxide. You want it mixed in a 2-to-1 volume ratio. Immerse and swish the brass you are cleaning in this solution for approximately 10 minutes. It should change to a buttery yellow/gold color when it has been totally cleaned. If it starts to have a green/bluish color, it's been in too long, and you need to rinse and start over with fresh solution. You'll want to wear gloves or use tongs because the solution can irritate your skin. Hope this helps clarify things for you? Cheers. Alf

any time you handle lead projectiles, wash your hands or use rubber/latex gloves. Don't sweat it. Enjoy shooting!

I heard that the first or second time I used mine. In my case it was because I was not careful and did not avoid getting the adapter wet. Keeping that dry prevented that issue for me.

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

Gary, The lead plugs into the adapter... the adapter connects to the metal whip antenna of your radio. If your radio has a external antenna jack, you can just plug it into that, if it is the correct size. //... Joe

Hello. It does not appear so. That massage unit does not use the same plastic safety shielded plug as your standard lead wire does. You may be tied in to the manufacturer for the supply items which will be far more expensive than your standard lead would be. Hope this helps.

"WARNING:This product contains lead;a chemical that is known to cause cancer and birth defects.Please do not place product in mouth or your hands after handling the product.Wash hands after touching." ...as written on bottom of tin can.

I don't have a full answer to this question. I connected the valve to a Micasaverde Z-wave sytem without any problems. The valve does have a California Prop 65 lead warning but the manufacturer said that this wasn't really an issue.

It would be too dangerous if you are using it in water, possible electrocution.

My recollection is that it came from China. No assurance was given about lead or other toxics. Not asked but: I take this opportunity to note that the ceramic filter absorbs *a lot* of heat while the water drips through.

If it were me I would never consider using it with plastic. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, or plug it in and put your hand on it and see what you think.

Yes, this should not be conductive, unless you contaminate it. It's still not a good idea to spill it everywhere though
