Staff toxicologists at the product safety commission told agency commissioners in the memo that some unfinished natural materials should be considered lead free. The materials include wood and fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, hemp, flax and linen.
That hearing was yesterday. They were considering only very raw materials - wool and certain fibers in their unprocessed form - not dyed or with finishes of any kind. Like the very cheapest of muslins. They also talked about raw wood (again, unprocessed) and pure gemstones. They didn't even come to a conclusion about any of those.
