Would a mashking boil kettle have lead in it?

[Beer Viking]

Hey everyone, I just recently learned that lots of pots and pans that are not expensive and cast iron actually have lead in them. I recently got a mashking boil kettle, can anyone definitively tell me if there could be any lead in it?

If you're using cast iron as a boil kettle, you'll get plenty of iron, too.

I don't think lead is typically used as an alloy in stainless steel, so if you brew in stainless, you should be ok.
