You know it's poisonous to us, you know this product is going to be touched, handled and otherwise used by us, SO WHY FUCKING USE LEAD-BASED PAINT!?

"What do you want? An affordable cord, or one that won't slowly kill you?"

Either that or "You should have researched our vacuum before purchasing it, Ms. HouseWife Consumer-Unit! You always have the option of buying one without it, even if it will cost you more! What? Produce one without lead paint? Talk to our folks in accounting. They'll show you the numbers."

that's just it... we did research several models before purchasing. There's nothing on the package, reviews or product info online that says "contains lead". It's only after you've bought the vacuum and opened the owner's manual to learn how to assemble it that you're told "Hey, there's lead here. Wash up after using it."

I guess the bright side is that I have a vacuum which is impervious to Superman's X-Ray vision. *shrugs*

Well, that joke falls flat. Maybe you could keep kryptonite in it. It would make a cool glowing effect if you've got one of those clear chambers.
