Description of Homax 5250 Household Lead Test Kit
Lead check test swabs detect lead on any surface within 1 minute. To use the test swab just squeeze the test swab firmly at the 2 points indicated, shake and then continue to squeeze until yellow liquid appears on the brush end. Rub the surface to be tested with the wet swab. The lead check swab will turn pink if leachable lead is present. Lead check swabs can be used to check for lead in paint, ceramics, dinnerware, crystal, solder, toys, dust, soil, etc. Lead check swabs are packed 2 per blister card.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Homax 5250 Household Lead Test Kit
Customer Review: Not sensitive enough
Summary: 1 Stars
I used this test to check for lead in a variety of inexpensive Mexican ceramics that I knew contained lead in the glaze. At no point was there any color change. However, I next tested the same ceramics with a acid leach test from Abotex, and received a positive result. (The Abotex Instant Results swab test was also a false negative.)
With this test's inability to register unsafe lead levels at around 5 ppm, I have to wonder, why take a test if you can't trust the results?
A false negative is a false sense of security.
