Introduction:
For each piece I write, there are category keyword tabs at the top of the post. Each of those words is a link to a category where you can find an overview (to see all the related posts in that category) anytime just by clicking on any of those words. I am working on writing summary pieces for each category (like this one) so readers will be able to check out all the articles and posts Lead Safe Mama has penned for some of the most popular categories on the website, easily (at a glance). This is my first attempt at this, so feedback is welcome. Please let me know if these summaries are helpful. Thank you!
And without further ado… Lead Safe Mama’s Easter-related posts (each numbered line below is a link to a piece with photos and more information, including XRF test results — in most posts — for the item discussed):
- 2020 Target Threshold Easter Bunny mug — 217 ppm Lead

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).

Tamara,
One of your Easter links included rosaries and you asked that if anyone were aware of lead free/lead safe rosaries to let you know. I found a website rosaryworks.com that offers first communion rosaries that they indicate are lead safe. However, please note that they are quite expensive.
Thank you for all that you do!
