 The past year has been inundated with toy recalls primarily due to lead paint hazards. I’ve had to get rid of several toys that my children had over the past year that have been recalled because of lead paint.
As a result of the numerous recalls, handheld XRF analyzers are all the rage. What’s a handheld XRF analyzer? Simply put, it tells the amount of lead in any consumer product - including toys. While handheld XRF analyzers are primarily marketed to supply chain distributors and manufacturers, some parents are buying them to test the lead paint levels in their kids toys. What do you think? Would you ever buy a gadget to test the lead paint in your kids’ toys? How much would you be willing to pay for a gadget like this?
