![]() As a result, I recommend sticking with plain undecorated wood for cabinet knobs and drawer-pulls in children’s rooms. While you will see that some choices from Hobby Lobby may be Lead-free (click on the links below for more examples), we – as consumers (without an XRF instrument in hand) – really don’t have the information nor tools to know which knobs or pulls might be Leaded and which might be Lead-free. With the level of Lead found, I would not consider this safe to have in a home under any circumstances (with or without children!) and would recommend disposing of it, ASAP. *Regardless of the year manufactured, cabinet knobs and drawer pulls are not considered to be (and have never been considered to be) “items intended for use by children” unless they are specifically and intentionally sold as part of piece of furniture made for a child’s room (or sold and marked for use by children) – and so are not regulated for total content of heavy metal toxicants like Lead, Cadmium and Antimony. That said, items that children might reasonably come into contact with on a regular basis (like a pull for the dresser drawer where they keep their clothes!) with SHOULD (ethically) – as a rule – be entirely negative for Lead (or the very least be under 90 ppm).
