grabease First Training Self Feeding Fork for Baby: Non-detect (negative) for Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, & Mercury.

When tested with an XRF instrument (for repeated 180 second / 3-minute tests) this grabease brand green plastic baby fork / training fork had the following set of readings (below):

• Barium (Ba): 137 +/- 77 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 1,031 +/- 190 ppm

That’s it. Titanium & Barium were the only metals detected! Each of these metals is considered inert / non-toxic in an application like this, likely used as part of the colorant for the plastic.

The fork was non-detect (negative) for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic and Antimony – so overall a good choice if you are going to go with a plastic utensil for your kiddo. The company looks like a terrific social-mission driven company as well, check out their website here: https://grabease.com/pages/project-elli-and-nooli

Results are science-based and replicable. Metals not detected by the XRF (in consumer goods mode) are not listed. All testing reported on this site is done using a freshly calibrated XRF instrument.
