Re: URGENT; Pomarico Crystal MouthPiece

In the modern hard rubber, to the best of my knowledge, lead is not so commonly used. It is typically replaced by zinc and/or other metals, which are needed for sulfur crosslinking to work efficiently.
Though lead being the easiest and cheapest to use should be a concern for unknown hard rubber.
For the original rubber ( and hard rubber), lead oxide was the key ingredient.

In this regard, the thesis of Tom Ridenour about hard rubber being a "natural" material should be strongly contested, in my opinion.

With the information not readily available for the recreation of the older hard rubber, I would keep it in mind as a general concern.

Acrylic should not have specific strong concerns, in general. Though different additives (and every manufacturer can use different chemicals as fillers and stabilizers) can be toxic.
The best ideal policy would be to use food-grade FDA-approved plastics.

I will send you my e-mail if you have more specific questions.
