Sharing this information in turn helps families everywhere protect their children from potential environmental toxicity in their homes. lead safe mama only links to products that are the same as (or very similar to) ones 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.
So the box has cadmium and nickel? What do you use for your kids?
Any chance you’ve tested the Lunchbots brand? I’ll happily send you a sample if you’re willing 🙂
Do you know if they use Lead paint on their logo? They changed things and looks different thanks
Oh – on the stainless the logo should be Lead-free, but I haven’t tested recently.

Would love an update as we are excited about this lunch box but value your expertise
Hi, in this testing you state the “lunch box” materials are different than the lid. Is the lid lead free/safe? Or you have only tested the lunch box and magnets? I just went to buy one for my daughter, but the reviews say the lid feels cheap and is not made with stainless steel? Not sure if that is accurate.
Thank you!
Ohhhh I think I missed it, looks like it’s all good! Thank you
Hello, can someone please explain what the results mean? All those numbers and letters? Is this good, bad, great? My child just started kindergarten and I’d like to get him this but I’d hate to accidentally be harming him through the years. I’m using plastic baggies right now since school just started. I know it’s bad for health and the environment. Not sure if I should just pack a bunch of small glass sealing containers or buy this. Thank you for your time!
Thank you so much for this! We have been using mason jars but they are getting increasingly heavier once we add books and the rest!
What do you think of the nickel and chromium? And are there foods that you would avoid with stainless steel?
Also I try to avoid buying from Amazon as they carry so many fakes… is it possible to get affiliate links from the actual brand websites?
