Who cares about lead in a drain valve??

News Flash! There are people who are concerned about ANY lead. And asbestos,
DDT, Dioxen, PVC, trans-fats, Sodium, Silicone breast implants, Red dye #2,
Alar, CO2, IE7, and dozens of other harmless things. Such worry - and
activism - gives their life meaning.

News flash!! FAR more lead was released into the environment in *making* the
valve than will ever be released from *using* it.
