Q: What about toy safety?
A: We use lead check swabs on painted surfaces coming from overseas. LeadCheck; Swabs are non-hazardous and provide a rapid, sensitive and specific test for leachable lead on any surface. When lead is detected, LeadCheck Swabs and/or the surface being tested turns pink or red on contact, depending on the concentration of lead present. In the vast majority of test situations results are obtained in less than 30 seconds. When detecting low levels of lead, or lead chromate containing pigments, results may take longer to develop. Each kit contains test confirmation cards to verify individual test results.Since their introduction in 1992, LeadCheck Swabs have been used to detect lead under a wide variety of field test conditions. Recognized by industry professionals for superior accuracy and sensitivity, LeadCheck Swabs have outperformed other screening methods in every government evaluation conducted over the past 15 years. .
