Do your Christmas lights contain lead?

Yes. Most all products which have electrical wiring which uses a PVC wire cover contain a very small, but unharmful, amount of lead. The lead is used in the PVC as a heat resistant insulator and to ensure consistency in the wire coloring. There is also lead in most every product in your home which uses a power cord. However, no one was aware of this until California passed a law which required all consumer products that may be sold in California to provide a notice if the product contained any amount of lead.

While we do not recommend that you eat our Christmas lights, there is no danger from lead exposure from normal use.
