Scan a product. See if it has lead.
Leadly checks barcodes, labels, and brand names against CPSC recalls, FDA enforcement, ChemView disclosures, and independent lab tests — so you can decide what stays in the kitchen, the playroom, and the kid's mouth.

Connected signals
Lead doesn't usually arrive as a warning label.
It hides in a hand-me-down mug. A bright costume necklace. An imported tin of saffron. A vintage tea set from a thrift store. A baby plate that looked too cute to check.
- An imported tin of saffron from a market trip.
- A painted plastic toy from a vending machine.

From “is this safe?” to a real answer in under a minute.
- 01
Scan it
Point your camera at a barcode, capture the label, or type the brand. Leadly looks for an exact match first, then a close one.
- 02
See the lead evidence
Read the source agency, the test date, and a plain-language concern level — not an opaque score, not a fear-bait headline.
- 03
Decide what to do
Keep it, watch it, replace it, or compare a tested-safer alternative. Save the answer so the household sees the same thing.
Built by parents
We don't sell fear. We surface evidence.
Leadly is built by households who got tired of paywalled studies and clickbait newsletters. We pull from the same federal and lab sources clinicians and inspectors use, then put the answer in plain sentences a tired parent can read.
Built around lead, not generic warnings
Every record names the lead-specific source — CPSC recall, FDA enforcement, ChemView disclosure, lab test — instead of folding lead into a vague risk score.
Plain language, no fear marketing
Concerns are summarized in sentences a tired parent can read at the kitchen counter. We say what is known, what is suspected, and what is not yet tested.
Public pages so you can share
Open a record on the bus, in the doctor's office, or in the family group chat — same answer, no login wall, no app required to read.
Start from where you're worried.
Each shortcut maps to a real lead question — about an item, a brand, a recall, or one of the categories where lead tends to hide.
Latest lead recalls
New CPSC and FDA lead-related recalls, refreshed daily and stamped with the source date.
Where lead hides
Imported food, vintage tableware, painted toys, costume jewelry, ceramics — the categories with the longest history.
Brands
Some brands have a long lead record. Brand pages show the pattern, not just one bad SKU.
Product checks
A public record per item — use it as the shareable answer when one parent buys and the other worries.
Guides
Lead-specific playbooks: water, paint, imports, baby gear, school supplies, what to do after a recall.
