If you ever suffered the fate of lead poisoning you would know why this is so important. It is not pretty and more harmful then smoking.

I remember stabbing another kid in the hand with a pencil back in grade school. 8-o

Can't remember ever seeing him after that incident, so I was just wondering. :w00t:

Pencils are made with graphite not lead, even though we call it pencil lead. This is a good thing since I have a child who thinks she's a beaver and chews up all of her pencils and crayons. Also have 2 pieces of pencil lead (graphite) stuck in my body, both of which you can still see through the skin even though one happened 36 years ago and the other happened 25 years ago. Thankfully, graphite hasn't been a problem so far :)

Thanks Sun for checking on the paint on the PVs. It definitely eases the mind.

Many thanks for your work dedicated to this important health question. Perhaps you could add a short description on how the test have been done. Just because knowing the method would strengthen the - thankfully negative - results.


Tom--they where done the same way you would check for lead paint in a home under EPA standards. Worth the effort as I surely do not what to be inhaling lead fumes. Again, I have to say these Manufactuers really left us in the dark. We, as Consumers, should not have to be conducting tests to confirm saftey, but I would rather be safe then sorry.

This means you used some test kits such like this, for instance? Should be a reliable way to tackle the lead question.
No doubt that the manufacturers did not invest in tests and safety issues. Again, I highly appreciate your efforts, and good to hear that the rogue products turned out to be clean in the lead aspect.

Tom--LOL--no--I paid the big bucks to have this done--they use some kind of light as well as chemicals. All I know is it was not cheap.
