Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert LT1 Premium Lead Test Kit
Customer Review: instructions not clear
Summary: 2 Stars
The problems with this kit are two, in my opinion. For starters, the instructions are not clear. You are given two ways of performing the test (the rapid one which works for surfaces and the longer one, which takes submerging in vinegar the object you want tested). For water or food I could not find clear instructions. At one point you are told that in order to test water you need to perform the rapid test. But for the rapid test, you are only told how to test surfaces, not fluids.
The second problem is that while the test boasts it can test food and water, the reality is that it can't. Any liquid that is not clear or white cannot be tested since when the test is positive the swab you use is supposed to turn yellow or brown. Now, I wanted to test an imported ayurvedic supplement (which the FDA warns it may contain lead). How exactly am I supposed to do this if the substance to be tested is brown to begin with? The same goes with food. You are not told clearly how to do it, and if you try to use the rapid method (rubbing the activated swab against a surface or dipping it in the fluid) and you are testing anything beyond dairy, then your results cannot be trusted!
All being said, the test did detect some lead in the spoons I had been using, so the kit works for some cases. It just didn't work for what I really bought it for.
Description of First Alert LT1 Premium Lead Test Kit
This complete test kit can be used to easily check for poisonous lead on any surface including: toys, dishes, paint, dust, mini-blinds, food cans, plumbing, water, and other items. The kit can be used in your house to test up to four separate surfaces for lead content and provides immediate results.
 1) Wipe the toy clean |  2) Dip the enclosed cotton swab into the solution provided |  3) Rub it on the toy |
If the cotton swab changes color - it contains lead. With each First Alert Lead Test Kit you can test at least 4 surfaces making it the most economical solution on the market.
Lead is very poisonous to human beings. Even tiny amounts of it in our blood, measured in millionths of grams (micrograms), can harm our health. Children absorb more lead than adults and are at a higher health risk. More than one million American children may have blood lead levels needing medical attention, and more than one million children may be somewhat mentally or emotionally impaired by lead exposure. If you are concerned about the potential for lead containing surfaces or items in your home, the First Alert lead test kit can be used to confirm or deny your suspicions. --Bree Norlander
