This piece was negative for Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Aresenic.

People often express concern for products from the Dollar (type) stores (Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, Dollar General, 99cent Store), and usually, I explain to them that BECAUSE these types of stores were cited for several significant Lead-violations years ago, in my experience, the products they sell have become much safer in recent years (if only from a Lead perspective).

Below are the full XRF test results. Both tests were done for at least 60 seconds.

Thank you for reading and for sharing my this work. (When you share our articles, Lead Safe Mama, LLC earns $ to help cover the costs of the independent consumer goods testing we do!)

If you want to donate and help with this kind of testing (where we buy stuff new at a store and test it), you can “Chip-in” (via PayPal or with a credit card) by clicking HERE, or you can contribute on GoFundME (LINK.) As an example, this Dollar Tree store trip cost about $60, including the stuff and the transportation but not including the cost of testing and childcare.

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).
