The work of Lead Safe Mama, LLC covered in “Cracked” — Check out this article for the saga of the Leaded Garfield cup, continued

April 23, 2022

The article (linked below, just click the image) is more of the internet coverage on (and buzz over) our findings of Lead on the Garfield McDonald’s cups! I will write-up an article soon linking all the TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram posts that this piece generated over the past week or two.

It’s been fun to see younger people get engaged and concerned about this issue (Lead poisoning and Lead in consumer goods specifically)! As I have always said, as soon as this issue is personal for someone then they will take it seriously! Who knew it would take a Garfield-themed cup from McDonald’s to alert a new generation to this concern!
