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

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.
