do these letter still contain lead?

I am guessing they do not contain lead, since toys made overseas are put through a rigorous testing process before being sold here. (My dad was a manager of a wholesale distribution company, which is how I know all about this.) It says on the box that they are made in China. The back of the box states, "Melissa and Doug products meet or exceed all U.S. toy testing standards and pass our high quality requirements." I bought these almost three years ago though, so maybe the packaging states something different now. Good luck!

I have no idea....good question. If it doesn't state it, I assume it does not. after reading this last response I feel safe

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.

Yes all of mine have came with lead inside them. I've also bought refills here on amazon for the leads and erasers. I have not had to replace or add any to my pencils yet but did not want to wait till I ran out before I ordered. I love mine, very comfortable in the hand and balanced well for drawing.

No they have lead in them, but as long as you do not store wine or alcohol in the decanters you will not absorb any lead. Research on line if you feel uncomfortable with my info. I was concerned at first when I new about the lead but my fears were allayed after researching it.

As a chemist I would not count on these as being reasonably pure. I use them as an alternative to lead as weights of high density. You may be able to approach an industrial manufacturer for some samples.

According to the rear of the package, there is an International symbol (trash can with an "X" through it) meaning dispose of properly and beneath it are the symbols for both Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb). So yes both of these elements are present, but it gives no indication of how much of each.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

There was no name on them. Someone asked if they contain lead. I never even thought of that.If you find out please email me. Thanks

I did not see anything in the paper work that said there was lead in it. Thats all I can tell you. I gave it as a gift.

The packaging indicates that they are lead free. However, I have not yet used them in food preparation, so I cannot say. I urge you to contact the seller with your question.

This is a clasp one and it has not been tested for lead, that's a good question.

To the best of my knowledge there is no lead. I would find it difficult to believe that any item intended for food or drinks would be permitted to be sold unless marked for decorative purposes only.

There is a large "LEAD FREE" tag on them. Along with a separate tag with CSA and NSF endorsements.

No. The packaging indicates that they contain both mercury and lead, and that they should not be disposed of with regular trash.

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

I just looked at my set and it says it's from Massachusetts but stamped "made in China". Not sure about lead - I wouldn't think so since they're tin and hopefully the paint is embedded enough to not emit any if there was. My grandkids drink real water and sometimes tea from them.

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!

While I have not seen any test results, I have no reason to think that it contains lead. The label lists the ingredients and does not report any lead.
