Question from mindy goldis

I have recently bought an extension cord at wal-mart and there is a tag on it that says it contains lead and may cause cancer and you need to wash your hands after touching it.

I tend to take a rag/cloth when I touch the cord, but I’d rather find a store that sells a cord that is lead-free.

Do you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

Debra’s Answer

Yes. Please see Q&A: Lead on Power Cords.
