When tested with an XRF instrument the Tommee Tippee Sippy Straw Cup pictured below (tested in March of 2017) had the following readings:
The main plastic components of the cups (lid and cup):
- Lead (Pb): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Arsenic (As): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Mercury (Hg): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Cadmium (Cd): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
The clear silicone integrated sippy straw:
- Lead (Pb): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Arsenic (As): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Mercury (Hg): NonDetect/ ND (negative)
- Cadmium (Cd): 23 +/- 8 ppm.
This amount of Cadmium is considered safe by all standards and is a level of Cadmium that I have often found in silicone products. The State of Washington considers an item unsafe with total detectable Cadmium over 40 ppm. The Country of Denmark considers an item unsafe with total detectable Cadmium over 75 ppm. There is no U.S. federal standard for total Cadmium content (vs. Leachable Cadmium – which is a different standard) in dishware or sippy cups.

Does my sippy cup have lead or cadmium?
hello,
Have these cups been tested since 2017? What about this brand of pacifiers? We have been using these pacifiers for 20 months and these straw cups for 6 months 🙁
Have you reached out to the company to see if they’ve since changed their product to make it safe? I was Reading that no amount of cadmium is safe for children.
Thank you
