Test results for vintage Fisher Price Parking Garage:
- yellow plastic— 1,538 ppm lead
- white plastic 422 ppm lead
#sigh.
The amount of lead that is considered safe in a new/modern item intended for children is below 100 ppm in the substrate and below 90 ppm in the paint or coating.
TIP: Avoid all vintage toys! (sorry). [And ask your parents to keep these in the attic when you come to visit for the holidays with your children!]

How old is Vintage? I have a Fischer Price Little People Car Wash manufactured in 2002 by Mattel in China. The roof is yellow plastic and it has several other colors as well. Is it likely to have lead above 90ppm?
