Is heavy metal contamination classed as a chemical hazard?

What hazard category would heavy metal contamination in food (Lead) be classified as? Is it a chemical one? I do know its neither physical or biological. Could be classified as "other" if not chemical?
Is pulling the cords out from the ear buds a risk to contamination?

I would lean towards chemical since chemicals are ompounds can cause illness or injury due to immediate or long term exposure.
