I really like the PTE stuff but i read something on the package today that has me a little concerned now granted i don't plan to eat them but....

Not to bring up the lead scare again, but has anyone noticed the lead disclaimer on the packages that says:

Warning: Conatins Lead
Maybe harmful if eaten or chewed
May generate dust containing lead

I see it on the swat package and the FAV package I haven't checked the others yet. Also it doesn't specify if it the ink on the package, or the toys, or the twist-ties inside the package.

Has anyone done a lead test on the toys?

I assume there safe as these are on the self after the new lead law was passed.

Ok just found this on Hiss Tank make me feel a little better hat it just California state paranoia not is disrespect and Californians here .....just your laws

Thank you for contacting Big Lots. This particular label you are referring to is only intended for use on product in the state of California. This is required to comply with their disclosure laws (Prop. 65). The label was not intended to be used on products outside of CA and should have been removed. Any lead contained within this product is well within acceptable levels according to Federal Law and it also passes the stringent Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

So it doesn't look like this is a big deal, just a CA legislative thing.
Thought I'd let you all know

It still does sound like a concern to me. Does it have lead? Yes? No? If yes, then the label. If no, then why the label?

If no, then the law for the label becomes an issue of crying wolf.

You' should probably be more concerned about what's in your hamburger.

Wash the stuff in mild detergent, don't eat or chew on it or grind it up and sniff it.

Someone suggested it might be the paint.

You probably shouldn't eat or chew it.

that sucks, I wouldn't want brain damage. maybe it's a good thing I don't have these toys.

Hehe! Wear protective hazmat suits before handling these toys. ;-)

Oh, and maybe write out a last Will.
