I think the point is whether or not it matters. There are minute particles of many things in the air we breath and objects touch and have been around our whole lives. I can't be bothered to worry about every little thing that might contain something toxic. Also many people eat food that's not good (in my opinion), take things that I consider harmful and never think about that so how much am I going to worry about some tiny amount of a substance that's in an old sewing machine that I use sporadically. As I said, if you don't lick it, you're fine.
