#XRFTesting: Green Sprouts Plastic Sippy Bottle

Green Sprouts Brand Plastic Sippy Bottle:
All Components were “Non-Detect” (negative) for Lead, Arsenic and Mercury.

Exact items tested are in photo below. All components were tested.

Only the two components with an arrow (in the photo below) pointing to specific results were positive for cadmium. All of the other components tested negative (non-detect) for the following elements: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Arsenic.

The level of cadmium found in two of the silicone components tested (on this product) is considered “trace” and is safe by all standards. The current federal hazard level for cadmium in children’s toys is 40 ppm cadmium and above. I have been finding trace cadmium in about 50% of the silicone items I have been testing recently. “Trace” means it is not an added ingredient, but a very small amount that is naturally occurring in the other ingredients of the product.

Check out these two posts about low-level cadmium.
1) Cadmium in silicone of a Pura water bottle.
2) #CadmiumConcerns in general.
