Guess what . . . found a precious 1 ball, slightly damaged. So I asked at customer service what they would sell it to me for and was told . . . THEY WON'T SELL IT TO ME!!!!!
Yet I'm sure they've sold bucketloads of Chinese products.....you know - "NOW FORTIFIED WITH LEAD!"

They say the Warren store near me has 7. However, a few days back, I only found one broke-down scrap heap reject. I doubt they materialized out of thin air - maybe when I go back for my next lead booster I'll check again.....
