Open Laboratory Testing Campaigns

Published: September 10, 2025
Updated: 9/26/25

Hello friends!

We’re EXTENDING our “flash-fundraiser” opportunity through to the end of September (9/30/2025, midnight PST) to try to get some of these community nominated products (listed below) tested and reported on ASAP. Here’s the opportunity:…

  • Contribute $100.oo or more in support of one of the 16 campaigns in Section A below & we will publish a new campaign for another product that you nominate.
    • This new campaign will have a subsidized / lowered fundraising goal of only $395.00  — instead of our current testing and reporting sponsorship rate of $495.oo — (so hopefully these will fund quickly!)
    • This is a bit of a “fast pass” through our nomination process which will also help others get products tested and reported on that they nominated for testing a while ago!
  • How To Participate:
    • Click on the link for one of the open campaigns in Section A below
    • Contribute $100 (or more) towards that campaign on GoFundMe
    • Email Tamara@LeadSafeMama.com with the following information:
      1. The campaign you contributed to as part of this challenge
      2. The amount you contributed
      3. Information for the product you want to nominate for lab testing (this should be a food, supplement, cosmetic, or personal care product – not a durable good): include the product name & description and a link to the exact product (in the exact flavor or variation that you want tested).
    • We will confirm receipt of your contribution and the above information for the new product and will do our best launch your campaign within 72 hours of your nomination / contribution.

In our first sharing of this “Fast Pass” challenge (September 10, 2025), NINE people participated. The campaigns for the NINE products they nominated for lab testing and reporting are the first NINE links noted directly below (each with the subsidized goal of raising $395.00 to cover most of our costs for laboratory testing and reporting — with our current average cost per campaign being closer to $495.oo per item tested). Here’s a link to our budget.

Section E.) Open Campaigns To Cover The Cost of Testing & Reporting of Products That We Decided to Test & Report On In Advance of Them Being Funded

We don’t do this often, but this summer we tested some of these products “early”/ without them being fully funded – as they each provided important details to help us round out our understanding of toxicant contamination in certain product classes or brands. This also left us with an operating deficit of about $10,000.oo for the summer!:

  1. Dr.’s Best Magnesium Glycinate Tablets
  2. Tayto Irish Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips
  3. Epaderm Psoriasis Cream
  4. Weleda Salt Toothpaste
