The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is following the issue of lead
contaminated with naturally occurring radioactive material closely, as
the products identified so far which contain this lead are FDA regulated
medical devices. FDA and state personnel are working to identify any
additional products and manufacturers. More information will be
available soon.
