I have tested the vinyl blinds in my home which were bought from K-Mart in McKinleyville, CA and they tested strongly positive for lead . There are serious concerns about the lead in these blinds and listed below are web sites you can get the real scoop on the subject. K-Mart says that the EPA has told them that the lead levels are too low to worry about, however, I can find only conflicting news releases from the Consumers Product Safety Commissiom and other blind manufacturers. This is the typical indiffernce to the community corporate response I expected from K-Mart Inc. Spread the word on these clowns. The web sites are: http://www.nobrainerblinds.com/lead.info.html gopher://cpsc.gov:70/00/Pre_Rel/Pre_Rel/96_Pre/96150
