Go out and play!
That was the message from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding concerns of harmful levels of lead in artificial turf. The CPSC released their findings last week after a nationwide evaluation of artificial grass playing surfaces over the past several months. The surfaces tested ranged in age from 10 years installed to less than one year installed and in all cases there was no risk of harmful exposure to lead for children playing on the grass.
"Parents should not be concerned about harmful levels of lead in artificial turf," CPSC spokesperson Julie Vallese said. Newer surfaces "generally had the lowest levels," a summary of the evaluation said, and while "small amounts of lead were detected on the surface of the older fields, none of these tested fields released amounts of lead that would be harmful to children."

Artificial Turf is 100% Safe
Recently there have been several reports in the media regarding the safety of lead chromate in artificial turf products. As the manufacturer of many artificial grass products we believe it is our obligation to provide our customers with the facts required to make educated decisions, especially when it comes to safety. We take this responsibility very seriously. Therefore, partnering with our sister company AstroTurf, we have conducted a great deal of testing and have asked many top scientific experts for their opinions regarding the safety and potential risk of the lead chromate found in artificial turf.
On May 5, 2008, General Sports Venue (the exclusive licensee of the AstroTurf brand) held a press conference to address questions regarding the safety of artificial turf. A panel of highly respected toxicologists, epidemiologists and chemical fiber engineers presenting their findings all unanimously concluded that there are no health risks associated with lead chromate in artificial turf.
