Is there mercury in this thermometer

I don't think so because its digital. Even the old fashioned kind has taken the mercury out of the thermometer's now.

I search all over and bought this kind due to a mercury level way below the others. Also it was a good value. I got three bottles.

No. Here's a site you can bookmark with all the proper temperatures: http://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html

Yes. It is a pellet containing mercury which is necessary for the operation of fluorescent lamps.

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

Yes. The mercury in CFL lights is part of the actual lighting element itself. Since these LEDs operate on a completely different physical principal then CFLs there is no mercury. However, there is still circuitry inside the bulb which contains a small amount of solder (which probably contains lead... but don't take my word for it... they may use lead free solder).

Ho, boy, that is a complicated issue. First, each batch of oil may vary in mercury content. The only way to be sure is to hope that your brand reports its test results for every batch. Notice I said the company reports on their internal test results. Depending on the company, they may (or may not) be using a method that consistently removes mercury to safe levels. That said, I do have a link to an article where some independent (???) researchers measured mercury levels in 5 national brands. Kirkland was one of 3 with zero detectable levels. See http://www.archivesofpathology.org/doi/full/10.1043/1543-2165%282003%29127%3C1603:MOMLIC%3E2.0.CO;2

No, this thermometer is in Celsius. -20C to 110C (you can easily convert from Fahrenheit using google).

All CFL's have some mercury in the bulbs. There is a warning label on the packages on how to dispose of them.

The label says "PCB and Mercury Free". Here is the producer's website http://www.naturesway.com/Products/Essential-Fatty-Acids-EFAs/15682-EfaGold-Mega-DHA.aspx

Not sure but it is easy to check when you receive it. We like this thermometer very much. It is easy to use and a great value. We checked it after receipt and it was correct so we did not have to alter the calibration. It comes with instructions.

I looked on the label- it said nothing. Of course, if there were mercury in it, I doubt they'd put it on the label. .. isn't it awful that you even have to wonder??

I don't know. Threw the box away and there is nothing on the thermometer that states where it was made. However, it does work very well and is accurate.

The Answer you Seek is already in my Post of July 8, 2014.Short answer is Yes, for Mercury & 28 other Contaminants.

No. Most incandescent bulbs contain a tungsten filament and do not contain any mercury.

Most of these type of thermometers use a bi-metal material in the tip. However, due to the length of the probe I couldn't say just how far up the tip the bi-metal material goes. The bottom line is that "I don't know".

Given it is glass and metal it seems just fine. Is it accurate when left in the oven? I'm not sure or not as sure as I was with my 50 yr old mercury thermometer. Consequently, I've been cooking and inserting the thermometer and pulling it out during the process. Not optimal, but the readings seem fine if you wait 30 seconds or so.
