lead-free
Safe for children
Lead-free describes products manufactured without lead, a toxic heavy metal.
The term appears most often with paints, gasoline, and plumbing materials—contexts where lead was once standard but has been phased out due to health concerns: lead-free solder, lead-free ammunition.
In casual use, it sometimes just means safe or non-toxic.
