Does this train contain lead or lead paint?

There is no lead based paint on the train or any of the cars.. The lead warning is for the solder used in the electrical connections to the engine. So unless you tear the engine apart and physically eat the solder, there is no danger.. You would probably be in more danger of lead poisoning from handling fishing sinkers, but we live in a world full of warnings.. ie.. Knife.. Sharp, will cut, can cause death or dismemberment. California requires the following notice: WARNING: The wires of this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Plastics are produced from petroleum, therefore they cause cancer, according to the State of California.. Typically, during an average day you will come into contact with hundreds of these items.. your toothbrush, your hairbrush, your water bottle, your tv remote, the fob on your key-chain, your debit card, etc.. etc!

Yes, the train cars are various colors, including the standard red caboose. Our engine was blue and gray. I believe the photo on the front of the box was accurate as to contents and their colors.

Good question! The paint used in this and jut about all tableware is lead-free. In addition to federal restrictions, most states do not allow the sale of any "tableware", or other "food containers" to contain lead.

The chalk conforms to ASTM D4236 and meets all U.S. toy testing standards, so no it should not have lead.

I called Melissa & Doug and they verified there is no lead in any of their products (including magnets). Also, all paint is non-toxic.

It says they are made from earthenware, so I am pretty sure there is no lead in clay. The paint should be lead free I trust, as these canisters are made for food storage. I trust the manufacturer that these containers are safe to use for food.

I make porcelain pottery in my studio. It would be very unlikely that it would have any lead in it because lead is used to get bright colors. This is pure white and would not need lead to get that look.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

Hi Jose, I'm sorry as the tea set was a gift and i can no longer accurately answer regarding the lead paint however as far as the worth....for me what I saw in a little girls eyes at Christmas YES but if I were making an economic decision at any other time of the year, no I would not buy this set. It is cute but value wise not worth it, there are better quality sets out there.

That's the first I've heard of the lead paint possibility. I've been using this item for about a year now. Guess that's where the few brain cell have gone missing...Would like someone to find out definitely though.

It does say lead free on the spool I recieved. The picture is just a generic image of the product. The one I recieved was green not blue.

I highly doubt it has lead in it. I know it is pfoa free and cadmium free. We use these pans a lot and love them.

Melissa, I don't really know. I can't say 100% for sure it doesn't, but I believe it is lead-free.

Combination. Figures are all plastic. Trains are part wood and part plastic

I sent email to redvanilla.com about this. The answer from them is: "Yes, it is lead and cadmium free."

No, the train is specific for the track it comes with. It's a really cool train, though!

I don't know if there is lead in the paint (or even if its non toxic) as they do not include any paperwork/information at all -- the letters are simply in a clear bag. The overall quality is quite poor though. Magnets falling off the back because the wood is splintered is definitely a choking hazard. Spend a few dollars more for a safer and well made product.
