#LeadFree: LifeFactory Baby Bottle
Introduction (for those new to this website):
Tamara Rubin is a federal-award-winning independent advocate for consumer goods safety and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children, her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005. Since 2009 Tamara has been using XRF testing (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals), including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic. All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times, to confirm the test results for each component. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023.
#LeadFree: LifeFactory Baby Bottle. All factory parts are also negative for Cd, As, & Hg. All of the colors and all sizes of these bottles that I have tested have been the same (Pb, Cd, As, and Hg free in all factory parts). I do not know the vendor of the nipple on this particular bottle that I tested and I have not tested nipples with other similar bottles.

It doesn’t cost you anything extra and helps support this website, allowing me to keep sharing information about childhood lead poisoning prevention (as well as making it possible for me to keep sharing about safe products for your home and family) ... Sharing this information, in turn, helps families everywhere protect their children from potential environmental toxicity in their homes. I only link to products that are the same as (or very similar to) ones that I either have direct personal experience with in my home or that I have personally tested with an XRF Instrument and found to be lead-safe or lead-free (unless I explicitly state that I am sharing a link to something I would not buy)!

Is that the life factory nipple that tested for cadmium? The nipple that came with the bottle?
I don’t think it is the same one that came with the bottle, although I’m not sure.
Hi Tamara,
Thank you for all that you do. I was just wondering if you have tested all parts of Lifefactory 12-Ounce BPA-Free Glass Water Bottle with Straw Cap & Silicone Sleeve and confirmed to be free of Lead and cadmium? Thanks!
Have you tested or do you have thoughts on the life factory stainless sippy cups for toddlers? I was disappointed they didn’t have glass options for toddlers and the stainless part is made in China.
Dear Tamara,
This work is so appreciated! On a similar note, what are your thoughts on electric bottle sterilizer and bottle warmer? Typically I try to stick to traditional methods because electric stuff tends to have contaminants. But in this case, any help to make things faster and efficient would be a life saver!
Hi:
Have you tested these bottles recently? I’m confused. In the baby bottle post you say there’s trace cadmium but here you say the bottle is negative for all? I recently purchased these off of your recommendations so I want to make sure they are safe for my son. Have you recently tested them?
The image has a nipple. There is an arrow pointing to the nipple with the Cadmium level. There is no “life factory” branding on the nipple so I could not say either way if the nipple was from life factory or not. Most silicone nipples test positive for trace cadmium. The only marking on this nipple is “Made in France”.

Thank you so much for the reply. I saw it right after I hit submit. I hope I can find a natural rubber nipple for this bottle.
I double checked the life factory nipple they came with my bottles and it says the same. I hope the natursutten nature rubber nipple will fit these bottles.
Hey! Did those nipples ever fit the life factory bottles? Trying to find a safe glass bottle that I could get a natural rubber nipple for.
Hi Anna, Did you find out if the natursuttem nature rubber nipple fit these bottles?
Do you know if all the other items they sell at life factory are safe?, like their ceramic mugs water bottles etc. Thank you for all you do to teach de society!
Have you retested these bottles recently? I just saw a post of a woman who tested them saying they contain lead!
