Correct.  Companies are no longer allowed, by law, to produce lead
miniatures.  It is true that kids ate minis and got lead poisoning.  Ah
well.  You know even as a kid I never looked at an Orc Archer and thought it
would be a tasty snack.

One company (heartbreaker I think) had a great warning label no the back of
their minis.  Went something like this:

Made with White Metal, No Lead content:  This doesn't mean you can eat them
though.
