I can find no place where lead would be used. It is all wood and hand crafted.

Hi Janie, I don't know where the lead would be, as it's all bamboo. There isn't any place on it that there could even be any lead, not to mention that it is imported and anything that enters our country has to be Rohs compliant. Lead has been banned in the USA since 1978.

Yes as far as I can tell . I researched this brand and it is suppose to be lead free .

Even certified organic products can, and often do contain dangerous heavy metals like lead. See here: http://www.lowheavymetalsverified.org/ Or here: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/whistleblower-who-found-poison-americas-food Or do a Google search for something like, "heavy metals in organic food" The problem is that heavy metal levels in food aren't regulated by either the FDA or the USDA. USDA organic certification doesn't include heavy metals certification or regulation. That isn't to say that non-organic products are any better. Also since a warning on the label is completely voluntary, I wouldn't equate the lack of a warning about lead to mean that it has any safer lead levels than products that contain a warning. On another Dr Oz clip which I cannot find on the internet, it was said that IN GENERAL, organic products grown in Canada and California are less likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than those that come from Asia. It's not about the organic certification being untrustworthy because the certification doesn't include heavy metal certification, it's more about how likely the land is to be contaminated with heavy metals in the first place. Land is contaminated through gasoline (the gasoline industry spread lead on most of the world's soil through leaded gasoline), batteries that everyone throws in the trash, paint that ends up dumped out or in trash, or painted surfaces leaching, etc. Heavy metals leach into the soil, then end up in water then migrate far and wide. That's why I think Canadian products are least likely to be contaminated. I reason that all that Canadian wilderness helps Canada in this regard. If there is a choice, I always buy Canadian Organic products now. Also they regulate heavy metals. Next choice, California, last choice Asia.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's lead free or not. Unfortunately the packaging it came in did not have that information either. I was not aware that lead in that product could be a possibility. Thank you for the question.

I don't know about the lead. But I have one in my daughters bathroom. I haven't had problems with it.

I doubt it has lead since it's hooked up to your water supply but I'm not a plumber. Check with the manufacture.

Their label has a warning on it that states:Thus product contains TRACE AMOUNTS of lead and may not be appropriate for consumption by children and pregnant women.But I also wanted to know that, I did some research and now its required they tell you that but the amount in it is very low if detectable at all. Most if not all clay has some amount or other.Hope that helps I do highly recommend it. I have a 20month old son and I use it for him and I and his ped said she hasn't seen any signs of there being lead there.

you are saying that their website claims that their products contain levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic? I don't remember seeing that information on any website

I bought the one with a clasp. I have not had it tested for lead. Never thought of it, but good question.

Thank you for asking. It does not have lead as far as I know. It is very pretty. I have a cat and it doesn't seem to bother her.

I don't know why there would be heavy metals in the formula. I certainly don't see any listed as an ingredient. I take one pill per day but dosage should be instructed by the individual's physician.

I haven't read anything to indicate that it does. We've used this product for a year and we've not seen any blood work come back indicating any lead poisoning. What makes you have that particular concern?
