Editorial Product Review:

Amazon.com Item Description:
This complete test kit can be used to easily check for poisonous lead on any surface including: toys, dishes, paint, dust, mini-blinds, food cans, plumbing, water, and other items. The kit can be used in your house to test up to four separate surfaces for lead content and provides immediate results.

1) Wipe the toy clean

2) Dip the enclosed cotton swab into the solution provided

3) Rub it on the toy

If the cotton swab changes color - it contains lead. With each First Alert Lead Test Kit you can test at least 4 surfaces making it the most economical solution on the market.



Lead is very poisonous to human beings. Even tiny amounts of it in our blood, measured in millionths of grams (micrograms), can harm our health. Children absorb more lead than adults and are at a higher health risk. More than one million American children may have blood lead levels needing medical attention, and more than one million children may be somewhat mentally or emotionally impaired by lead exposure. If you are concerned about the potential for lead containing surfaces or items in your home, the First Alert lead test kit can be used to confirm or deny your suspicions. --Bree Norlander

Customer Rating: - Simple cost effective way to have some assurance
Buying an old house is a lot of work and you hear about lead paint, lead in the pipes and and asbestos. This test enabled us to check and be certain that we weren't encountering lead in our every day activities.

Customer Rating: - Lead Test Kit
In order to use this product, you must "cut" a small chunk out of the product you wish to test. I bought this to test my grandchildren's new toys for lead. Who can carve a chunk out of magnets or many other types of toys? Wasted my money.

Customer Rating: - No Solution!
I'm calling the company tomorrow...the vial with the "solution" has nothing in it. Not to mention, I was bummed you can only run 4 tests (although, I'm wondering if I can use one swab for more than one item). Am a new mother and was disappointed I can't use it.

Customer Rating: - Works great (be sure to follow directions)!
This test kit works really well and is easy to use, but you must follow directions and not swab items that need to soak in vinegar first. We swabbed a metal item and got a false positive. When we soaked that same item (as instructed) the test came out negative.
