Are these weights really made of Lead? Or is "lead weight" just an industry term for anything heavy? If they're actually Lead, how do toys like this conform to RoHS?

I'd be surprised if it was. Children's toys get tested for lead and just breathing it in is dangerous for kids.

Also, lead has a certain look and feel to it. When I open up toys and gadgets, the weight in there doesn't look like lead to me. No idea what it is, but I'd guess a zinc or iron alloy.
