Lead Safe Mama, LLC Update: Five New Lab Reports Published in the Past 24 Hours!

July 23, 2026
Thursday

Hello friends!

Happy Thursday!

As promised — we have been working diligently on publishing many of the 24+ not-yet-published lab reports that we have had pending in the queue! As of this moment we have published five new lab reports in the past 24 hours (each with very exciting results!)

As noted in yesterday’s update, all 24 of these lab reports are for products that we have not yet raised funds to help us cover the full cost of testing and reporting.

As such – as promised – I am opening each of these emails with a request for additional support, followed by the link to the new article(s) — in the hopes that we will raise enough to cover the costs for this testing and reporting so we can keep doing what we do.

Right now we are working to cover:
Exactly $3,100.00 in lab fees (for testing already completed by the lab)…
in addition we also need to cover our current / July 2026 operating shortfall of $1,336.19…
For a total fairly urgent need to raise at least $4,436.19.
This amount is more than our total gifted monthly Patreon support at the moment, which is currently at $2,970.00contributed by gifts from 734 people each month.

Here’s our request…..

If you would like to see more laboratory test results for popular products you use, please make a contribution — of any amount — in support of our work if you are in a position to do so (if you have $5.00 or $10.00 to spare).

 The most impactful way you can contribute would be to bump up your Patreon support (by $1.00 or $2.00 or $3.00 a month – to help us reach the $4,436.19 we need to raise. We are currently just $1,466.19 short of that goal. With our current average Patreon gift of just $4.05 a month that means we simply need 362 of you to join us with a gift of $4.05 or more to help us meet this goal!

Can you bump up your monthly Patreon gift by $4.05 (or more) this month? Thanks for considering it!

While Lead Safe Mama, LLC is a community collaborative organization (we depend on our community to direct us in choosing which products to test and report on and also to help us cover the costs of testing and reporting for those products), we are not a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization so gifts in support of our work are not classified as tax-deductible gifts to charity (but they are very much appreciated by everyone in the community!)

And now… why you are here….

The link to the FOUR newly published articles – published today – with the full original lab report for each of the products pictured – are below. As always the lab report can be found at the very bottom of the article, below the narrative of the article, below the sharable social media graphics, and below the list of lab-tested safer choices.

In each case these products were tested for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic (with lab test results noted in parts per billion – ppb).
