This product comes with a sticker that says "may contain Lead". No where in the description does it state this. Does anyone know about this?

it is kinda heavy for a cover but as long as you keep it out of your mouth and don't use it as a tent for small children it shouldn't be an issue.

you are saying that their website claims that their products contain levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic? I don't remember seeing that information on any website

I did not see any evidence of lead ! Only used tin/lead later. It does a good job of melting tin but if you want to know what the bowl metal is, ask the manufacturer or Lee. I don't think the bowl would have any lead in it as it would melt the bowl - right ?

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's lead free or not. Unfortunately the packaging it came in did not have that information either. I was not aware that lead in that product could be a possibility. Thank you for the question.

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

I believe it is quite safe to use. :) I made sure to read the description before i purchased it and it says that the product is FDA aprroved. In my opinion, I think it is a fairly high quality product. Lead shouldn't be in a FDA approved item.

Why would anyone? Its plastic not painted metal and its new. It should not have lead.

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'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 wasn't aware that it contains lead. But currently he does not play with it that much but I will watch and see if he start chewing or putting it into his mouth.

My container doesn't look exactly like the one pictured. Looking at the ingredients, no indication of lead. If there is lead in this product, I am not aware of it.

Sorry I took so long in answering your question. The answer to your question is yes it is lead free to the best of my knowledge. It works great.

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 don't know. i returned mine because when i got it, it said the element contains lead on a label on the cord.

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 received my bottle with capsules this week. Indeed, there is a warning that it contains lead. Did a quick search and found a claim filed by an attorney against the company for exceeding allowable amounts of lead (whatever that means). There is not much more info... but i spent only about 5 minutes searching. I wonder if i should take it (already taken several capsules). Anyone has spoken with the company or has more info?
