#LeadFree Sink Handle (for a bathroom or kitchen sink?)! This one is essentially 100% nickel! Nickel or stainless steel are good #SaferChoices for something like this.
Note: if you have yellow brass handles for your sink there is a chance they can be high lead, and there’s even a chance that they can have lead that could be rubbing off on to the user’s hand. If you have concerns (as a first pass test on your own kitchen or bath hardware IF it is yellow brass) you may want to use a LeadCheck swab to help determine is any lead is coming off the surface in daily use.

What do you recommend for a truly lead free kitchen faucet for water safety? Kraus says lead free brass with a stainless cover. But is it truly lead free or just under .25!
I have been looking in to this a lot. In Australia they still allow up to 4% in brass fittings. I am shocked. Villeroy and Boch make lead free stuff. Also Caroma Titan is apparently lead free. I would be happy with .25. One company here was advertising theirs as being 1.5!
