No, but Kemet were late in adopting lead free finishes in comparison to the Japanese manufacturers, some of which have been compliant for years.

The finish on Kemet Chip Caps is generally Matte Tin, & I have checked with our parent company that sells millions of these & there are no reported issues from any customers. However most of their customers are hardly pushing the envelope on manufacturing.
