Galvanized Buckets and Watering Cans 

Health Hazards: Some but not all galvanized buckets and watering cans contain lead or lead solders. Test yours with a home lead test  kit. This lead can leach into water, as well as rub off on your hands. These products generally are not appropriate for kitchen uses.

How to Avoid or Minimize Exposure: If your product tests positive for lead, wash your hands after handling it, or replace it with a lead-free product to be sure to avoid lead exposures.
