QUESTION:
Lead in lamps, 21 Jun 2006, Wisconsin USA I am 6 weeks pregnant and I noticed on my bedroom lamp it has a warning sticker that states the lamp contains lead. Should I remove the lamp from my bedroom? Is it's presence alone harmful? Thank you ! Tricia |

ANSWER: 06 Jul 2006 Dear Tricia, Lead is usually present at the contact of the globe as well as in the PVC of the cord. Occasionally it is present as surface coating but it is unlikely. Therefore you can keep the lamp in your house. Lamps that contains lead becomes dangerous when there is a fire hazard. You may want to check www.recycletechnologies.com/wi_lamp_recycling.htm. It has some information on lead in light bulbs and lamps. I hope this would help. Regards, Erik Wibowo |
