Lead Free Statement

Lead is a naturally occurring substance contained in almost everything mined from the earth. Most pigments have a trace level of lead as an impurity. Farrell-Calhoun adds no lead to our products as a raw material. All of our paints meet the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s ban on lead levels over 90ppm (0.009%), per 16 CFR 1303.

Farrell-Calhoun considers stating paint as “Lead Free” as being less than 90ppm lead, the level set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. At this level, only naturally occurring lead could possibly be present. No added lead, as a raw material, could meet this criterion.
