Oh!
I can't imagine they'd be given the green light to ship to Europe and other places if they contain lead. Thought shipping products with lead was outlawed years ago for those places.
The European RoHS restriction allows lead for 0.1% of weight. And in alloys such as brass, 4% of weight is allowed.
The article was a bit funny, stating that copper inside LEDs can accumulate in rivers and poison aquatic life. Much more larger amount of copper is used in nearly all electrical wiring, and probably nobody will dump truckloads of red leds into rivers...
