Why does this product have a warning label that says: "This product contains lead" ? why would you put lead in it? I am upset!

"Macrolife's website has a page about the issue; the lead content is no higher than that of the foods it is made from." This is the response from a previously asked question on the Macro Reds products. This has to do with Prop 65. A direct quote from the Macrogreens website, to put this in perspective: "Natural green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, which is an exposure of approximately 50 times the allowed Prop 65 levels."

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

I was too!!!! I haven't touched it since I read that! Someone on here said that it contains very little lead but ANY is too much to me!

Never thought about it. Personally, I doubt there is any lead in the product as I believe there is a law against having lead in any food containers/servers. You might want to ask the company about it.

I don't believe it has lead in it-it doesn't taste like it has lead in it. It tastes great to me.

I do not use any product that comes in contact with food...if it is made in China (as this is). Due to lead content in virtually all products made there and their lack of any real quality control standards, you just cannot trust the quality.

I have been using this product for over a year and have never thought about lead content. I use our community CO-OP frequently. I spoke with one of the employees who is vegan and very nutrition and health conscious. He is familiar with the Fungi Perfecti products and their high quality production standards and doubts there is any lead in the product. I also called Fungi Perfecti (1-877-504-6926). The rep said their mushrooms are grown in a filtered hot house with stringent controls to preclude pollution or contaminants. Hope this helps; it certainly made me feel better.

I bought it because i assumed that it didn't have lead. It is wonderful for bread that is why i bought it.

I did not see anything in the paper work that said there was lead in it. Thats all I can tell you. I gave it as a gift.

I bought it under the impression that it was Lead-free, however the box is labeled "lead crystal."

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

When I emailed them, the manufacturer stated that the brass valve on the bottle contains a small amount of lead. They ship these out of California so by law they have to print the warning on the bottle.

The package has the same lead warning as the powdered clay. I just checked my bottle of the Daily Detox. Hope this helps.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

My container doesn't look exactly like the one pictured. Looking at the ingredients, no indication of lead. If there is lead in this product, I am not aware of it.

The product is not painted, and there is nothing to indicate the use of lead. My answer is no.

I received my bottle with capsules this week. Indeed, there is a warning that it contains lead. Did a quick search and found a claim filed by an attorney against the company for exceeding allowable amounts of lead (whatever that means). There is not much more info... but i spent only about 5 minutes searching. I wonder if i should take it (already taken several capsules). Anyone has spoken with the company or has more info?

I don't know. Possibly. I don't think the package says lead free. Ask the manufacturer.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.
