Hello. Your Lead-free VitaClay slow cookers have tested positive for Lead. I am the person who did the testing. I have written up my results on my blog linked below. The testing was done at the request of my readers. One of the components tested was, in fact, very high lead.
–
Your marketing materials need to be changed (and your packaging needs to be changed) – or I am concerned you may be faced with a class action lawsuit by your customers over false advertising claims.
–
If you have any questions about the testing I did, feel free to contact me. The tests I have done are replicable and accurate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news when “Lead-free” is such a prominent theme in your marketing materials.
–
Many companies respond to my research by sending it to their attorneys and having their attorneys send me threatening letters. I can attest (from past experience) that this is generally not the best course of action given my test results are accurate and replicable.
–
The best course of action is for you to proactively address the concern on your website and in communications with your customers – to come up with a clear game plan to address the problem and take positive actions from there.
–
While removing the lead from your product is the ideal solution, it is generally less expensive to just remove the Lead-free claims from all of your advertising materials and packaging and come up with a plan for people who bought the product specifically because it was marketed as Lead-free to return it to you for a full refund.
–
On behalf of my readers, thank you for your attention to this matter.
