Distilled water, maybe. Tap water, generally no - includes source impurities, dissolved mineral salts, chemicals added during processing. pH may be slightly acid or alkaline.

I was looking at the list of recalled toys in a train shop yeaterday. Almost all were red items (e.g., James). Lead oxide is normally red. It is (or was) used to paint the Forth Rail Bridge.

It would be a good idea for you to stop sucking on the Forth Bridge!

The truth is out and it gives the lie to your post. From the BBC website

"Mattel says it was mainly to blame
Mattel has admitted that most of the toys recalled in recent safety scares had "design flaws" and that Chinese manufacturers were not to blame"

Unfortunately the damage has now been done. I wonder how much compensation the Chinese manufacturers will deservedly get.

Did Mattel specify "lead" paint? If so, prosecute!

I'm guessing here, but in all probability Mattel set the price without specifying the type of paint and the Chinese were left to work out how to meet the order. Its up to the ordering company to specify to suit the markets they intend to resell in. After all, we can guess that Mattel aren't going to give the Chinese manufacturers the details of their markets.

Enough to pay for the coffin of the factory owner who killed himself perhaps?

Quite. Somehow I can't see a director of Mattel killing himself. More likely trying to find someone to blame.
