>From one of my co-workers who's wife works at 3M the phone number for the
3M Product Information Center is 1-800-364-3577.  He said that the people
at this number wouldn't necessarily have the info at hand but would forward
you to the relevant persons.  He also felt that it was highly unlikely that
the material in the tattletape contains lead, as lead is not a very magnetic
material.
