Just a heads up about Christmas Lights

I never would have thought that. I still used them and just instructed the kids to not touch the lights or the wires.

A&A'smommy replied: wow I had NO idea!!! Thanks for letting us know!!!!

Calimama replied: TFS that never would have occurred to me.

TLCDad replied: Unfortuantly just about every electronic device has lead in it. But the levels are kinda low and only CA law states they must state that disclaimer if they intend to selll in CA. I do not think any other state requires it yet, but I could be wrong. But this is why you will see these disclaimers on wires, etc. now even though there has been lead in them for years.
