The answer is fine. If someone asked a grocery store, "Is there Mercury in your fish." - answering, "Yes" tells the consumer nothing, because almost all fish/marine mammals have mercury in them - so all fish consumers are exposed to some mercury. Instead, what would be useful to the consumer, is to know if the fish pass certain health standards regarding mercury levels in the fish - you particularly need to be concerned about apex predators such as Tuna/Swordfish/Shark/Pike - see http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/chem/mercuryexposure.pdf http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/chem/mercuryexpos.... In the same manner, Apple saying, "Yes, we have lead" is meaningless, as there is no harm to the environment for very small amounts of lead, and, in fact, lead is an element naturally found in the human body. (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body) - The EPA "Action Level" for lead in water is 15 parts per billion. (See: https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/lead-and-copper-rule https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/lead-and-copper-rule) So clearly, if that is a level for lead that is in water that you drink every day, then that level inside circuitry, is not going to pose any risks. At the end of the day, the RoHS standards are what people should be measuring against, not meaningless yes/no answers regarding, "Does product X contain lead."
