Recently I purchased
several items from large gardening shops which had warnings regarding
lead. The warning stated that you should wash your hands after use,
etc., It sounded quite dire. This included items such as watering
wands and sprinklers.
Does anyone know
what the laws/rules might be on lead in items in daily household use? I
was shocked to see these items contained lead. Is there an effort to
regulate lead content? These are the types of items kids would play with,
touch and even drink from. Is there any group trying to raise awareness
about this?
Thanks for the
info.
