What is this? This is a small water fountain that runs on solar power. It has metal parts held together by solder.

What's happening? Tests show the solder contains too much lead. Lead can harm the environment if it leaks out.

Does this affect me? If you bought this fountain in Estonia, it may have this problem.

What should I do? Stop using it and ask your local store for a refund. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you are worried about lead.
