It says in the instructions that " Components can cause cancer". What is that about? The lead pellets that are used or what?

I believe it is a General Warning and Disclaimer that is required By Law. I am in The HVAC and Electrical trades. About every piece if equipment we install has that Disclaimer in the paperwork some where. Seen the same thing with Auto parts. It is a Legality.

This is food quality, so I doubt there's ANY lead in it. This is BUTANE, not PROPANE. The cans are very light and remind me of bug spray. If you're thinking of the heavy threaded propane tanks, these aren't them! :-) You could probably fill refillable butane lighters and butane soldering pens with it, though, with the right adapter.

not sure but I don't beleive so because lead is very low melting metal. This is coated in high temperature , hard ceramic. Even better than teflon which is an inert, soft material that scratches or spawls off easily and is said to cause some ailments which may or may not be true. Both are very lubricious (non sticking) That is what I feel is true, not what I can show data on. All compound materials have residuals or very small amounts of many elements.

These are lead.From a 1200 FPS rifle, they travel 1000 FPS.They are devastating. There are heavier hunting pellets and lighter alloy pellets. These are just right.

None..... If they are not made out of lead they will not conform into the rifling as well and you will not have the stabilization. If you plan on killing the game, why are you concerned if it is made out of lead???? High powered rifles can get by with FMJs with a number of different centers, but the Pellet rifle relies on AIR as a propellent and I am enjoying some super decent accuracy out to about 75 yds with the lead pellets.

A lot of electronic products have that warning on them, but it is extremely unlikely that anything would happen to you. You would probably have to eat the headphones (lol) in order to see any sort of effect from this. If I were you, I wouldn't let all this talk of lead being "super dangerous" in the news get to you. I wouldn't put too much thought into getting lead poison from a pair of headphones. The amount they use is likely negligible at best.

It says lead on the tin. The pellets deform very easy and leave plenty of residue so I imagine they are mostly lead if not all lead.

"WARNING:This product contains lead;a chemical that is known to cause cancer and birth defects.Please do not place product in mouth or your hands after handling the product.Wash hands after touching." ...as written on bottom of tin can.

These are complex plastics made from petroleum and some are toxic. The fittings are usually polypropylene with low toxicity (most of these products are made in China so you can expect some lead and other contaminates in almost every product they sell- especially pet food!); garden hoses are another thing. If the company does not advertise "okay for potable water" I wouldn't drink or run drinking water through it.

These are lead pellets. It is not a safety hazard. However as a precaution, the Crosman suggests that you should wash your hands after handling the pellets.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

Looked at container for all the different chemicals but they don't mention lead but this does mean anything to me.Sorry but I have no better answer for you. Hans Denekamp

"copper metal components...possibly contaminating your drink with trace amounts of the copper... known to cause cancer...".Considering all the copper pipe used for water supply lines in California (and elsewhere), contamination from your coffee pot are the LEAST of your worries, IF you think copper is a problem (it isn't, although lead leaching from the solder joints in your plumbing HAVE been a source of concern, albeit minor).In litigation-happy California, the warning is plastered on just about everything, making it relatively useless to rely upon.

There is an amount of lead dust / splatter. I've put a piece of cardboard on the face / opening to reduce the splatter, along with "sealing" the joints with duct tape. But even with these actions performed, there is nothing that can be done concerning lead dust - even HV pellets or standard rimfire ammo creates some form of "lead dust" as it's leaving the muzzle. Emptying out the unit you will also encounter some form of dust, unless of course soaking it with water to prevent as much dust going air borne. Also wear gloves and dispose of lead appropriately to avoid / reduce contamination.
