About a month ago, I purchased a pair of kitchen tongs and when I got home, there was a warning to wash hands after use due to lead content. On a kitchen utensil????? I was furious! It went back to the store with my complaints, which seemed to fall on deaf ears. Never thought to look for a warning on an iron. It is just so hard to find things made in the USA.
