The issue of lead shot being used in speaker stands has come up in the past quite frequently, and I agree with most that discourage the use of this material in domestic applications. In my opinion, it is not worthwhile to use something that has potential hazard. However small it might be, there is risk anyone can be affected, not only to toddlers or small kids. It's like keeping knives and sharp objects clear from infants. The only difference is knives are essential household utensils being used in the kitchen while lead is not. There is a choice of using other safer material. You would never know if there is leakage and lead dust(possibly from abrasion between the lead pellets) may leak out from the stands.
Also, I think there isn't any major differences between lead shot and steel shot, or sand material. I may be wrong, but I will leave it for lead shot users to comment.
Nordost wires used to have this "Lead Free-Protect Our Environment" label on their packaging, for those who might want to know.
