I believe that only New York actually passed a law regarding lead minis
(which I seem to recall was related to a law suit against some company,
Grenedier maybe?). But many companies fearing that other states would soon
follow (and to avoid possible law suits now that a legal precident had been
set) switched over to pewter.
