This Code of Federal Regulations excerpt includes the CPSC ban on lead-cored candlewicks and candles with such wicks. The provision identifies candlewicks containing more than 0.06 percent lead by weight of the metal as banned hazardous substances, along with candles using those wicks. The structured row converts 0.06 percent to 600 mg/kg, or 600,000 micrograms per kilogram. The rule is a consumer-product lead limit rather than a food, cosmetics, or toy limit.
