Tommee Tippee sippy cup w/ integrated silicone straw: No Pb, Hg or As – but positive for trace Cadmium in the straw.

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.
