The consumer report review actually is a bit reassuring in that most brands _don't_ really have high lead levels, it's the cadmium you have to be concerned with. This matches what ConsumerLabs similarly found.

However both reviews indeed show a lot of brands have high cadmium, with the worst offenders about 2x the california 4mcg limit. But this is the limit present in food, it doesn't tell you how much is absorbed. I assume the california limit might already try to account for this, but in the large scale 2x over the limit doesn't seem that bad, it's basically within order of magnitude.
