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 ?

There is no rating as far as max hg of mercury or anything. But ive used to pull a vacuum on a few systems and havent had any problems with it. Been able to get to 500 microns

I believe that this product is all natural. It has no additives, chemicals, or GMO. That would also lead me to believe that it does not contain any leads or metals such as mercury. I hope that this helps.

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.

I do not know of any such certification. That said pose your question to New Wave Enviro regarding this. I do not think New Wave Enviro would sell any product that had lead. I have two and use them to make Kombucha Tea.

I live in Michigan. I have taken the same for a long time. My bottles say nothing about lead. It is all herbs. I am surprised.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

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

I sent email to redvanilla.com about this. The answer from them is: "Yes, it is lead and cadmium free."

My guess is that Mercury-free is simply safer. All else being equal, the used batteries that go into the landfill will not contain an environmental contaminant. Free Mercury in the environment is some bad stuff!

This product has been tested by an independent watchdog firm (labdoor dot com) and it has only trace amounts of mercury (1 PPB). All the products tested contained at least trace amounts of mercury.

Have spoken to a representative from Aquasana....they mentioned it filters out "VOCs and SOCs, herbicides, pesticides, industrial solvents, heavy metals such as lead, mercury. Also the by-products of chlorination trihalomehtanes and haloacetic acids"

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

I have not tested either for lead but the one with the elastic broke quickly. I recommend the one with the clasp.

I do not know the test results for heavy metals with regard to this product. It is supposed to be kelp from U.S. NW Pacific and not Japan.

In fine print it states: It is tested to be free of harmful levels of contaminants (ie mercury, heavy metals, PCB's, dioxine and other contaminants).

Carlson says it's free of detrimental levels of mercury, lead, cadmium and PCBs and 28 other properties. Hope this is of help. I've also read that squid oil is a better choice to avoid contaminants.
