Is there any certification? Since China likes to put lead and other toxic substances in their products - they need to be certified

I don't see any "certification" on any supplement I've purchased....I just try one and decide to continue buying it or to change; it is next to impossible to be sure...Once a company, after my complaint, has sent me a guy with a parchment - to "certify" their 100% Kona coffee..it was NOT (they were selling a blend of who-knows-what). If FDA ever touches supplements, it will be the end of it...

This item didn't come with any certification. You might want to contact the sellers to see if they can provide one.

I am sorry I couldn't answer that, you would have to contact Bulksupplements.

I did not see a certification from any recognized agency. You may ask the BulkSupplements if they have any testing in place. However it should be noted that supplements are not inspected by a national agency such as the FDA. Supplements fall under "Caveat emptor".

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

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

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

The fault of China-made **** imports lies with the US company's specs for the product, and then the US company's quality control. Undoubtedly, it's a much greater chore to write the specs clearly enough and tight enough to eliminate "improvisation", and quality control has to be much more diligent than for US, Japan and western European-made products, but "swallow the greed and do the deed". Otherwise it's "garbage in = garbage out".

In short, no, the toys are rigorously tested by US standards. I can't make you feel better about the labor practices, and most toys are made in China,but I'm fairly certain these are made with regulated non-toxic paint.

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.

If they factor this out to China, which I seriously doubt, it must be the cleanest factory in the Far East. READ THE LABEL: NO PRESERVATIVES OR CHEMICALS. This is BRD, not BP.

It's because California requires that anything that has any trace of lead be labeled accordingly....no matter how minute the amount. Even though fruits and vegetables have traces of lead... they are not required to be labeled.

This company has been manufacturing china since 1815. It is now owned by a company that also owns Waterford Crystal, Spode china, and some others. I would think that if there was any danger of lead in this bone china, it would have been discovered and publicized within the past 199 years of its existence.

Thanks so much for your answers,Anthony..I must inquire as someone whom has had health issues and knows as a fact that fear of products from China is a reality, not paranoia....Who tests the tea??? The Chinese have,without any question, been poisoning exports, and its more prevalent now than ever...

I just had the answer of Djeco. There is no lead, they follow the US rules (ASTM) & Europe Rule (EN71). The export Manager David can be joined on the email : dsc@djeco.com

Even certified organic products can, and often do contain dangerous heavy metals like lead. See here: http://www.lowheavymetalsverified.org/ Or here: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/whistleblower-who-found-poison-americas-food Or do a Google search for something like, "heavy metals in organic food" The problem is that heavy metal levels in food aren't regulated by either the FDA or the USDA. USDA organic certification doesn't include heavy metals certification or regulation. That isn't to say that non-organic products are any better. Also since a warning on the label is completely voluntary, I wouldn't equate the lack of a warning about lead to mean that it has any safer lead levels than products that contain a warning. On another Dr Oz clip which I cannot find on the internet, it was said that IN GENERAL, organic products grown in Canada and California are less likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than those that come from Asia. It's not about the organic certification being untrustworthy because the certification doesn't include heavy metal certification, it's more about how likely the land is to be contaminated with heavy metals in the first place. Land is contaminated through gasoline (the gasoline industry spread lead on most of the world's soil through leaded gasoline), batteries that everyone throws in the trash, paint that ends up dumped out or in trash, or painted surfaces leaching, etc. Heavy metals leach into the soil, then end up in water then migrate far and wide. That's why I think Canadian products are least likely to be contaminated. I reason that all that Canadian wilderness helps Canada in this regard. If there is a choice, I always buy Canadian Organic products now. Also they regulate heavy metals. Next choice, California, last choice Asia.

China... it says it on their website.. which is a reason for avoiding it, read this article http://www.green-tea-guide.com/green-tea-lead.html

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.

My china, which in my opinion is of poor quality, does not state its place of manufacture. I find that odd. The china is very susceptible to scratching from silverware and requires cleaning with bar keeper's friend. I also find that troubling.

I understand your concern and I have a similar concern, however, it's the best of all options I have found so far since most of our goods are made in China. It really comes down to how conscientious the company is about quality control and where the material originated. Aluminum, for example, may come from a bauxite mine in Australia, is shipped to Iceland for processing at Alcoa (cheap electricity, using hydroelectric from a dam built by Chinese workers), then shipped to China for making products. This is one of the best water bottles I have found. PS If you use sunblock or cosmetics, the chemicals used and potential health hazards are very scary--there are a select few who are actually safe.
