Vintage (?) “Made In China” Parasaurolophus Plastic Dinosaur: 1,333 ppm Lead (90 is unsafe for kids) + 88 ppm Cadmium
When tested with an XRF instrument the large gray dinosaur pictured here (year of manufacture unknown) had the following readings:
- Lead (Pb): 1,333 +/- 71 ppm
- Cadmium (Cd): 88 +/- 13 ppm
- Barium (Ba): 717 +/- 84 ppm
- Antimony (Sb): 625 +/- 34 ppm
- Bromine (Br): 62 +/- 10 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 127 +/- 23 ppm
- Zinc (Zn): 578 +/- 55 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 341 +/- 102 ppm
- Titanium (Ti): 19,600 +/- 2,700 ppm
As this toy tests positive for more than 90 ppm Lead in the paint / exterior coating, it would be considered illegal/ unsafe if sold for use by children today. Please keep these hard plastic vintage dinosaurs away from your kiddos. Thank. you!
