I have met and seen multiple individuals handling and strapping exposed lead to pickleball paddles in recent years. It is maddening.

Without education younger people reasonably have little understanding .

People born in the 60s and maybe 70s have the leaded gasoline termination and leaded paint public awareness efforts to inform them. I don’t think people born in the late 90s or early 2000s have been exposed to the news of the risks of lead so much.

It’s the same with awareness of nuclear annihilation. Younger generations just don’t seem to understand the threat - whereas generations of the 60’s/70’s/80’s sure do ..
