A box of Exhibits Sent to us Right Before our August 2018 Hearing...

For those new to this website:

Tamara Rubin is a multiple-federal-award-winning independent advocate for childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety, and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children (two of her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005). Since 2009, Tamara has been using XRF technology (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 tested. Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February of 2023 (March 2023 print edition).

This is a photo of the box of exhibits that was sent to us shortly before the DHHS administrative hearing we had on Monday, August 27, 2018. I am publishing this now so I can link to the update I am about to upload (regarding our legal chaos).

Here is part of the note I sent to my attorneys when we received the box:

“Hello all!

–

This is the package of documentation we received from DHS just now – on Thursday, August 23rd at approximately 9:40 a.m. UPS.

–

This is the documentation they expect us to have time to review and refute in our Monday, 8:30 a.m. hearing. I am drafting a letter to the judge about how this is ridiculous (giving us less than two days to review this volume of documentation without representation). Will cc all of you.”

It turns out this box contains approximately one thousand nine hundred pages of documentation!
