Well, not in PVC hoses. Not specifically lead anyhow. They (and everyone
else who wanted the hose to remain flexible) would, however put phthalates
in there as plastisizers. They do break down in the environment, so not
much of an issue outdoors in the garden. In other words, it's not a good
reason to throw away a (half-)good hose.
