Poker Chips Loaded with Lead

On Thursday a warning was issued by Arizona health regulators in reference to Paulson brand poker chips. The warning said that the chips in question could contain high levels of lead. A Phoenix TV station broadcast this same story the day before the warning was issued. The EPA limit for surface lead was exceeded in 200 chips tested for this. The CEO of Paulson then issued a statement saying that the chips, when used as intended, could not pose a health hazard, and that new chips will be reformulated to contain less lead.
