I've never used aliexpress before. Anyone have thoughts on the likelyhood of getting stuff made with toxic materials?

- blacksmith_tb 10y agoI have certainly gotten a few cables and other plastic/rubber items that stank strongly, but after a day or two outdoors weren't noticeable. Likely the toxicity of the materials is a much larger problem in China, where these items are made. Unless you were considering ingesting them...
- whamlastxmas 10y agoI order PCBs and ICs and other similar boards that all use lead based solder I am sure. So I wash my hands after working with it. A good practice even if you're buying stuff from American sellers because it's often the same parts.
