A member asked:

Should i be concerned about lead exposure from the pvc in household products such as electrical cords and artificial xmas trees?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: Unless you actually eat lead, which is why kids get lead poisoning in older houses (the lead paint chips are sweet!), you are unlikely to encounter any problems. Stop being concerned and have a merry christmas.

I've read fake Christmas trees often contain lead and that the PVC used in making many of them also is toxic and can off-gas. How safe is it to use an artificial tree? Would prefer real, but am avoiding shopping in public right now due to Covid?
