It all depends of how like you are to be affected seriously. It's like going out in the rain, there is a chance you will be struck by lightning, but is that more or less likely than getting cancer from a tiny amount of paint? Life is all about taking risks - the folk that took no risks had no children. Cheers, Tim

Remember some of these warnings result from giving rats about ten times the dose that anyone would consider excessive. But such warnings keep the punitive damages at bay! Common sense is not that common, particularly where an opportunity to sue for damages may be a possibility. Howard
