Does anyone know if these contain lead? The ones from Hong Kong and Taiwan were banned due to overexposure of lead...does anyone know?

No clue but they are overly salty had to throw them out. It was more than I could handle and I love salty stuff.

While I'm not 100% sure I don't believe that they do, they would have been removed from Amazon if they did

I imagine they are all "lead free." I suspect the higher priced one is cleverly advertising it as "lead free" to make you think you are getting something special.

So sorry for the late reply. I'm honestly not sure if they are pvc & lead free.

I asked the seller about the quality of these. I remember them saying that this was Korea. With no heavy metals. Ask questions to the sellers. The good sellers are always answering questions. Its great!

Hi Sandy,In the older pieces made in theUS there is no lead, but the newer pieces are being made in China and do have small amounts of lead in them. I hope this helps.Bella

No, unfortunately they require 1.3 lead. I have only been able to find the lead here on Amazon. However, Amazon has it priced great.

I would not be certain they are lead free if they are from China. There was a big to-do years ago when it was discovered that the Polly-Pocket merchandise (interchangeable clothing that felt rubbery like silicone, though I can't say what they were made from) had lead in them. You would think that baking products wouldn't have lead (common sense) but China has different laws in this. I know that certain supplements and naturopathic things from China one ingests may contain lead and may not be labeled.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

Hi! Our bands have been tested here in the US and found to contain no lead or Phthalates. We are one of the only brands to have done this testing. There is a certificate on our product page that shows these results.

Thanks for the info! I know spirulina from China has been reported to contain heavy metals and other contaminants.... scary. That's probably why this basic info. is not listed on the amazon listing and only people who are aware of the dangers bother to look this up. Read this article: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/30/the-human-cost-of-chinas-untold-soil-pollution-problem

It is glass so the bpa is not an issue, and they are being made after the ban on using lead in items. Although i do not know where they are made, so if they are made in China that could be a problem. I love the one I have.

Hi Michaux, Our facility and product undergoes annual checking in order to maintain Organic Standards. This include checking for any metal components that might have been transmitted through water absorption from the soil, or air. All plants have the tendency to acquire lead because it can be absorbed from soil or air. By doing lab tests regularly, we are able to monitor and keep it at a minimum level, so low to cause a concern. As for China's reputed air pollution, our farm is situated in a small town far from the busy city. Air pollution posts a very low risk in that region. I hope this help. All the best, Ashley @kissmeorganics

Remember to check for lead content - China is full of it - not so in England. I would never purchase Spode made in China and actually use it for eating. Too scarey

They are supposed to be lead-free. The manufacturer's website states that they conform to all FDA regulations and California Prop 65 standards.

As a chemist I would not count on these as being reasonably pure. I use them as an alternative to lead as weights of high density. You may be able to approach an industrial manufacturer for some samples.

The label has california prop 65 warning.. Says there is lead in this product. -- I just looked at the pictures here on amazon.
