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. __________________ Tracker's Pictures

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.

Big Lots Customer Care

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

If no, then the law for the label becomes an issue of crying wolf. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

Iron Maiden has one song on a studio album that contain profanity (out of fifteen studio albums) and WalMart put explicit warning lables on everyone of their CDs. But that's California for you; telling you how dangerous everthing is for you in California yet the rest of the states have the same items an seem to not have any more health issues. __________________ The United States will conquer Terrorism with the help of God and a few Marines. Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
