  But the only difference after regulation is the inclusion of a sticker! You seem to think the safe harbor limits are realistic safety limits, but the safe harbor limits for lead are 5ug per day. That's much lower than any other regulation. WHO have here http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v44jec12.htm http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v44jec12.htm > (Annex 1, reference 30), when a provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of 3 mg of lead per person, equivalent to 50 µg/kg bw, was established. This PTWI was reconfirmed by the Committee at its twenty-second meeting (Annex 1, reference 47). At its thirtieth meeting (Annex 1, reference 73), the Committee assessed the risk posed by lead to the health of infants and children and established a PTWI of 25 µg/kg bw for this population group. The Committee again evaluated lead at its forty-first meeting (Annex 1, reference 107), (PDF so not able to copy and paste) but current PTWI is 25ug per kg for all people. The prop65 level of 5ug is much lower than that.
