IAW the prop65 warning these loppers contain lead. Assuming that the part that has lead would be the blades, does that lead transfer into the plants cut with them and therefore their fruit as well? How much lead do you suppose would end up in the fruit?

The Prop 65 warning is regulatory, not an indication of risk during normal gardening use. Pruning with these loppers will not contaminate plants or fruit, and there is no meaningful lead exposure associated with cutting branches.
