Default About to bead blast wheels... is there lead in the paint?

I started on a small spot on stripping the wheel, and as I was inhaling the dust from the bead blaster, I thought, "I wonder if there's lead in this stuff?". I was going to don a respirator, but now I'm wondering if chemical paint stripper might be the better way to go?

Ebay specials that say "Cub cadet 1210" on the tag and wheel is stamped 1/76.

you can get lead testing swabs at hardware stores
scratch up the paint so you get a bit of dust to make sure you get plenty to test and follow the instructions on the kit

Oh that's good to know. I just got home from the hardware store and working with the paint stripper. It got off the added on paint, but the factory coating is pretty tough. When I get off what I can, I'm going to respirator up, vent the garage with a big fan and blast away. Probably toss that media and get new stuff since it might be lead contaminated.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
