This is Erika’s letter to Pura (to which they responded, here). Erika has agreed to let me share this (and their response to her) with you!

Below is an e-mail from Pura to a customer (Erika) on July 5th, in response to her inquiry about lead found in their insulated stainless steel baby bottles in 2018.

#LeadFree: Golden “Romirus” Baby Shoes
These golden baby shoes were shipped direct from China in 2018, so they may or may not be a knock off of this brand of shoe, however they did test negative for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury when tested with an XRF instrument. All accessible components tested.
#Leaded: Gold Painted Leather Baby Shoes
When the owner of these shoes came to a testing event, she had a few of her dishes and other household items tested. Then one of the other mothers there suggested her baby’s shoes be tested (as she was already on her way out the door!) These golden moccasins were positive for lead at 1,674 […]
