Looking at all of the article links provided, I see that it only applies to children's books, which makes some sense and also explains my initial confusion.

It's understandable to restrict the sale and commercial distribution of a product intended primarily for children if it contains significant traces of lead.

I was confused by the topic title and the claim initially because I see and use books printed before 1985 quite often. Access to older books is important not only to people interested in books that are now out of print (and also to libraries who would have to get rid of some of their stock if this were applied to all books) but also to scholars, journalists, and other researchers who frequently use such material. I handled more than a dozen pre-1985 books over the last couple of months for research. Some of them I own and they sit on my shelves right now.

For that reason, I think even if they restrict distribution of children's books printed before 1985 to children, they should still retain them in some libraries (at least in university libraries, anyway) so that they may be accessed by historians or other scholars of literature and art.

Did you know that America banned all books make before 1985 (IE, after 1984)

No, you didn't and this isn't the first time you've fallen for this type of BS. Are you just being a gimmick or are you just that easily deceived?
