Stay Safe Out There!
A quick note from Tamara:
Hey readers — I hope you are staying well out there with all that is going on in the world right now. I’m hanging out mostly at home with my children — and have been doing so for more than three months now (since March 2). Each of my three youngest sons have compromised immune systems (which manifests in different ways for each of them), due to having been Lead-poisoned as babies.
In between kid-wrangling I am working hard to publish literally HUNDREDS of new articles (with test results for various consumer goods I have tested over the past couple of years but have yet had a moment to report on!). These pieces have created a backlog in my system for more than a year now — and it’s actually nice to have a *break* with some time to catch up! To make this happen as quickly as possible, I am (as with this article) simply publishing the images and the test results — without a lot of additional information. (Do not worry — I will continue to update them with more information as I get caught up and begin to have the time!)
For those new to my website, please check out the menu in the header of the website for more information about how I test things (and my background, etc). On each article you can also click on any of the keyword tabs at the top of the piece to find more items in that category. Here’s an article discussing the type of testing we conduct, and the specific instrument I use to detect, analyze, and confirm metals content — ultimately producing the resultant data for each item reported on this site.
Please Note: Test results reported below are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Test results reported here are from tests completed for a minimum of 60 seconds each, and repeated multiple times to confirm the results. As with all the testing reported here on LeadSafeMama.com, a freshly-calibrated high-precision XRF instrument testing in Consumer Goods mode was used to test the item pictured here.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for reading and sharing this work!
