Here are garden tools I bought at DO IT CENTER for my great granddaughter. It was AFTER I had written her name on on them I turned them over to add the year in Marking Pen. I saw the warning lable to wash hands after using because of high lead content. Do It Center would not take them back because I had written on them. But you almost have to have a magnifying glass to read that WARNING LABEL. GG Vi
