Lead hazard in holiday lights..warning

[Guest guest]

Tonight we went to put up our holiday lights. I had just bought two

boxes. Two different brands from different stores. As I was reading

the box...there is a California Prop 65 warning on the back that

touching the plastic coating will expose you to lead. And to wash your

hands after handling. I have never seen this warning on lights in

previous years. I am sure they have probably always had lead..just

that finally they decided to put the warning on.

In any case...spread the word..to protect anyone..children should not

handle these lights...and likely adults should wear gloves.
