New York Assembly Passes Bill on Lead in Decorative Lights
New York state’s Assembly has passed a bill that would require labelling of seasonal and decorative lights containing lead.
The measure (A 4345) would require covered lights containing an electrical cord casing made with polyvinyl chloride, in which lead is used as a fire retardant and stabiliser, to bear the following label:
"Warning: Handling the coated electrical wire of this product may expose you to lead. Wash hands thoroughly after use."
It would extend to portable, plug-connected lights – including wired holiday string lights, pre-lit artificial Christmas trees and wreaths, stockings, candles and light sculptures – manufactured, sold or distributed in the state.
