Only they said, those levels really aren't "cause for concern". <br /><br />I could foresee the day when there was some lead contamination somewhere at levels well exceeding 100ppm and our government saying the same thing, oh well "there really is no evidence that this is unsafe".<br /><br />In fact, they already do this. They haven't told anyone to take the "unsafe" leaded products away from their kids, but once you try to sell them to another kid they are now considered hazardous waste.
