Karen,
While we're waiting for recommendations from an experienced faucet specifier -- I don't fall into that category -- we can read this depressing article:

You might want to order one from either CA or VT. Those two states are now requiring that all fittings and fixtures sold and have no more than 0.25% lead, instead of the EPA limit of 8%.
