Lead content in children's products

Purpose: The limits on lead content in children's products have contributed to a successful effort by all federal health and safety
agencies to lower the blood lead level in children.

Federal requirements regarding limit the total lead content in children's products.

product, while the other requirement deals specifically with the levels of lead contained in the paint or surface coating of a children’s product.

total lead content in accessible parts.

Lead in Paint and Similar Surface Coatings
All children's products, and some furniture, for adult and children, must not contain a concentration of lead greater than 0.009
percent (90 parts per million) in paint or any similar surface coatings. Household paint must also meet this requirement.
