Which of the following is NOT a product that typically contains lead?

Glazed Pottery
Battery
Toys
Sinkers

The correct answer is: Toys

The choice indicating that toys are not a product that typically contains lead is correct because, due to regulatory changes and heightened awareness of lead exposure risks, the manufacturing of toys has significantly decreased the use of lead in safe products. In the past, some toys may have contained lead-based paint or components, especially vintage or imported toys. However, current safety standards, such as those enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), strictly limit the amount of lead in children's toys to safe levels, thus making modern toys less likely to contain lead. In contrast, glazed pottery, batteries, and sinkers have been known to contain lead. Glazed pottery often uses lead in its glazes, especially if it is handmade or from certain regions. Batteries, particularly lead-acid batteries, contain lead as a principal component. Sinkers used for fishing can also contain lead for weight, although there are now alternatives available to reduce environmental impact and risks to wildlife.
