When tested with an XRF instrument, the Kleynimals brand “Jangles” toy (their non-toxic answer to the fidget spinner) had the following readings:
Test Results For (304 Stainless Steel) Ring Components Of Jangles:
- Lead (Pb): Non-detect / Negative
- Cadmium (Cd): Non-detect / Negative
- Mercury (Hg): Non-detect / Negative
- Arsenic (As): Non-detect / Negative
- Chromium (Cr): 148,300 +/- 7,700 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 143 +/- 56 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 3,656 +/- 532 ppm
- Nickel (Ni): 96,200 +/- 2,800 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 729,000 +/- 5,600 ppm
- Molybdenum (Mo): 3,784 +/- 203 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 16,700 +/- 1,400 ppm
Test Results For (304 Stainless Steel) Spacer Bead Components Of Jangles:
- Lead (Pb): Non-detect / Negative
- Cadmium (Cd): Non-detect / Negative
- Mercury (Hg): Non-detect / Negative
- Arsenic (As): Non-detect / Negative
- Chromium (Cr): 180,300 +/- 1,800 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 155 +/- 65 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 3,855 +/- 588 ppm
- Nickel (Ni): 87,900 +/- 1,900 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 705,700 +/- 3,100 ppm
- Molybdenum (Mo): 3,468 +/- 191 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 13,800 +/- 1,400 ppm
Note – all components were tested and each test was done for a minimum of 60 seconds (one minute). Results are science-based and replicable. Neither of the components (the beads or the rings of the Jangles) fill up the entire testing window of the XRF so results may vary slightly with each test (to a greater degree than one can expect results to typically vary with a larger item with a flat surface of contiguous material). The test results sets above are each typical for 304 stainless steel [a high-grade stainless alloy used in cooking pots and other applications for food use]. The main alloying metals in 304 stainless steel are Chromium, Nickel and Copper, in the ratios instantiated by this test result set. You can read more about stainless steel in this post – link.
Overall, I think all of the products from Kleynimals are a great choice for kiddos. My younger [special needs] boys (ages 10 and 14) especially LOVE the Jangles. When Charlie (age 10) looked over my shoulder and saw I was writing this post he exclaimed – “OH I LOVE THOSE!!!! Where’s my set!!!???”
As a #Bonus!, Kleynimals is also offering a 15% discount* to #LeadSafeMama readers with the code “leadsafemama“. Not only are all of their products Lead-free, but they are also made in America by a woman-owned small business (#Win #Win #Win.)
Full Disclosure: Kleynimals is a sponsor of this website and as a benefit of their sponsorship I offered to test each of their products using XRF technology and report the test results here on my blog. As with all of the testing that I report here on my blog, each set of test results is a full set from one test (not an average of multiple tests.) Tests were all done multiple times to confirm the levels in the one set of reported results is accurate.
As always, thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
