The new lead standards are pretty critical from what I've heard. I remember reading a story about small motorcycles designed for kids motocross that couldn't be sold because of the lead content in certain parts. There was one guy that had like 8 or 10 of them he couldn't sell.

These are spinning reels, not likely to be used by kids so young that they would be putting them in their mouths. I know guys that still pinch down split shot with their teeth. I am not advising anyone to ingest lead, it just seems overkill to think someone is going to ingest the paint off of these spinning reels. Aren't most fishermen still handling unpainted lead sinkers and jigs?
