[QUOTE="katya02, post: 565067, member: 2884"] It could be in almost any coating (toys, other things) that a child can get her mouth on; also water pipes are a possibility. Lead is a real threat to health so by all means, let the community health people check. Could be on toys, imported dinnerware (there's lead in many glazes and if dishes are fired properly during manufacture, lead can leach out into the food), it's in pewter - so if there are pewter cups or spoons being used, that could be a source. If they live close to a heavy traffic area, there may be high lead levels in the air from exhaust (even with 'lead-free' gas these days). So many possibilities, but the bottom line is the source needs to be found and eliminated, for everyone's safety. Small children are most vulnerable but everyone can be affected. It's good that they found it now, and the baby won't have to endure exposure all through her toddler and preschool years. Good luck ... I hope they find it. [/QUOTE]
