I would inquire as to the metal---if it isn't made in the US, there is heightened risk of lead/zinc/copper etc in the metal."Wrought iron" alone isn't enough to know whether a cage is safe in terms of metals (as wrought iron is an alloy, and an alloy is a mix of metals---which could include zinc, copper, nickel, lead etc). The contents of the powder coating and/or paint also matter.
It may be a bit of a process to get this information, but it will be worth it in the long run.
There are lots of cages on the market that contain unsafe metals---people just aren't aware of them all the time.

You need to find out what the contents of the alloy (AKA, wrought iron) actually are.

It can be an obnoxious process, as they will likely say things like "Our cages have been safely sold for years" or "Our cage is wrought iron", or "I am looking at a list and it says "wrought iron", I see no mention of lead, zinc or copper"-------THAT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION (you need to know what is in the iron and they will have to do some research themselves in order to tell you in 99.9% of cases.

Can’t help but wonder why this thread from early 2017 has been resurrected...?
