Taprite lead warning sticker

[AMH_]

I just got my new taprite tower. It came with a huge sticker saying there is potentially lead in the product etc.

Anything I should be concerned about?

Thanks

As long as you don't plan on drinking any beer that you run through it, you should be fine.

Required by the State of California. You have been drinking from similar or worse metals your entire life!

RDWAHB!

correct, even lead free brass and solder has a small amount of lead still in it... california has its own version of red lead free brass fittings found at local califonria home depots and such, or at least they used to...You will find the California cancer sticker on many things these days, its similiar to the warning found on beer and cigarretes from the surgeon general. same with any powertool with brushes or pretty much anything these days...
When drinking and smoking is outlawed again for being bad for your health you can bet it will be California thats first to do it...Once they figure out another method to collect the tax revenue.

At the end of the day your still far more likely to do more damage to your health from the alcohol in the beer than the lead in the brass or solder...

Is it the Stainless steel model with a chrome faust? If so, they use lead anodes in the chrome plating process. Nothing to worry about. I got the stupid Prop 65 paperwork with the stainless steel siphon I ordered last week. Makes no sense it's not like I plan on eating the tiny plastic trub cap.

Only if you live in California, are a rat, and drink 7,000 gallons of beer a day.
Cheers, now get to drinking or you'll never find out.

Many bars still use cheap chrome plated brass taps... plenty more lead in those I bet than the new stuff..
