Lead warning for Titanium White??
Hi all,
I like to use cheaper white paint for my experiments, especially in large pictures, or large backgrounds. Since I found the Winsor & Newton Winton Titanium White a good product for my experiments, I use to purchase their 200ml tube. But in the last one I got the LEAD WARNING label, in the box and in the tube label inside (see attached images). Is this correct? This scared me. I tend to avoid paints that contain lead because sometimes I find spots of paints all over my hands and arms after a painting session (maybe splits occur when I paint with vigorous and fast strokes). For that reason, I use Flake White in my paintings only for highlights and final strokes, taking extra care, of course.
Now, what do I do about this? Should I consider they made a mistake adding this lead warning (twice? In the box and in the tube labels?). Or does it actually contain some lead?
I appreciate your opinion.
Cheers,
Ant
