Well…. #sigh. This is just a bit of drama. If you are not interested in drama and you just want to see the lab report for this product, which tested positive for unsafe levels of Lead and Arsenic, click here.

If you have been following my work for the past decade or longer, you are likely familiar with the fact that (as we have shared in the past) Redmond lies and deflects blame to diminish concern for the high (unsafe) levels of Lead in their product lines (salt, toothpaste, bentonite clay — and products made from the same base ingredients). As a result, having the company lie (outright) about my communications with them is par for the course. (Textbook Redmond behavior!)

The first image below is a comment from Redmond shared with me by a reader earlier this week on July 22, 2024. The white “bubbles” are what the reader shared (copied and pasted into a note to me). The blue “bubble” is my response to the reader.

For those of you who are new here, here’s a link to my full communication thread with Redmond from February 2021. In this older conversation with the company (communication thread linked here), I also explained to them (in detail by writing up an article just to answer their question) where our test results were sourced from at that time.

Here’s the article linked and referenced in the above communication thread as well.
