Yep! It is the last product in the chain of decay of Radium and Uranium series. There are a lot of nasty products that they decay into before becoming lead-206 (which takes about 4.5 billion years) but once there, the final product: "lead-206" should not give you cancer as it is stable (non-radioactive). Don't eat it of course because it's still poisonous (chemically).
