Scene about Lead in chocolate & wine (filmed in February of 2012) from MisLEAD:America’s Secret Epidemic (a documentary.)
My informational graphic responding to the chocolate manufacturers’ misinformation campaign — the Lead-in-chocolate controversy
The COMPLETE (ridiculous, greenwashed) statement published by HU on their website today (12/22/22). Stand by for my full response.
Last night (just before bed) I learned that my most-significantly-Lead-poisoned child (Avi) has been buying (& eating) HU Dark Chocolate. I’m furious.
Here’s the #BS GREENWASHING response that HU Chocolate is sharing with concerned customers. I will publish my response to this shortly.
#AskTamara: Which dishes are Lead-free? Pioneer Woman? Wedgwood? Franciscan? Blue Willow? Fiestaware? Heath?
#AskTamara: Which mugs are Lead-free? How can I tell if my mug has unsafe levels of Lead? Which mugs do you use?
WHY IS THIS NOT ILLEGAL?! Jervis & George glass sippy cup jar: 6,422 ppm Lead (90 is unsafe for kids) + 88 Cadmium
2018 U.S. “Copper” Penny: 579,100 ppm Zinc & 419,200 ppm Copper. No Lead, No Cadmium, No Mercury, No Arsenic.
#AskTamara: This one is for the kids! Q. “Hey Mom! What’s a penny made of?”… XRF test results for a 1976 U.S.A. penny
#AskTamara: “Are the 3M Lead Check swabs sufficient to test the surfaces of toys? Is it better than nothing?”
Pioneer Woman “Vintage Floral” Teal Dipping Bowl: As high as 6,140 ppm Lead (90 ppm is unsafe in kids’ items)
#AskTamara: How can I test my water for Lead? How do I test the water in my home? How do I test the water in my kids’ school?
#AskTamara: Do my Waechtersbach nesting bowls have heavy metals (like Lead and Cadmium) in the glaze?
