Should my child be tested for lead if he or she has played with a toy that was found to contain high levels of lead?

Parents should consult with their pediatrician to determine whether a lead test for their child is warranted. The detection of lead in a product does not necessarily mean there has been exposure. It is important to remember that toys and childcare articles are just one source of lead exposure for kids. Children are exposed to lead from other sources as well. Centre for Disease control and prevention has various fact sheets on this which may be consulted.
