Were these mats tested for formamide? How can I get the toxisity screening results that are marked in product description as available upon request?

A lot of customers were concern after France and Belgium issued a ban on EVA foam mats. However, these two countries have reversed the ban and reduced the restriction limit to &gt;200 mg/kg on how much formamide foam mats can contain instead. Keep in mind that no other countries have banned or set restrictions on formamide. http://newsletter.sgs.com/eNewsletterPro/uploadedimages/000006/sgs-safeguards-1291212-france-extends-temporary-ban-for-formamide-in-puzzle-mats-a4-en-12.pdf Australia conducted their own test on formamide in foam mats and have found no health risk, you can read the article in the following link: http://www.productsafety.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/989496 All our mats have pass and exceed all US regulations. Our standard mats have not been specifically tested for formamide as we are not required nor any real tests show that it is a safety concern to children. According to our manufacturer in Taiwan, our standard mats meet the formamide limit set by France at &gt;100 mg/kg. In order to better serve our concerned customers, we have brought in formamide non-detectable mats. You can find the reports in the following link: http://www.ewonderworld.com/test%20report/ACT-Mats_FormamideNDTestReport.pdf You can order the Formamide Non-Detectable mats in the following link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YGTW74 Please note we do NOT plan on carrying these formamide ND mats in the future so supply is limited. It is too costly(to manufacture and for our customers as well), low demand, have not been proven to be a health risk to children nor is required by country other than France and Belgium. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding formamide or foam mats in general.

I used the product for couple of months for the iodine benefits. The taste wasnt very good, it was like ground, but i didnt mind it cause i cared about the iodine. However all changed when i recently received my results for the toxic metals exposure based on urine measurements with chelation agents (probably the best available test on planet earth). To my disbelief i had arsenic!? I am pretty health oriented and it first sounded impossible but when i looked at the list with potential arsenic exposures as provided in the test results, i saw the organic kelp was standing there....

I looked online and cannot find the answer! If anything comes from the Japan area, then yes you should have a grave concern. Let me know if you find out.

ya, i was wondering the same thing. aren't they breaking the rules by not listing the compound so we can refer to msds (or now sds)?im thinking its some sort of mild alcohol

I never have. I agree with John Marietta. You should call customer service and talk to them. They need to notify the seller too that you bought these from as maybe they have some contaminated bags since yours have this in them.

Sorry I don't have an answer. I actually throwaway because strong chemical odor. I've tried to return they asked me to pay for return shipping, it was almost the price of the mats themselves.

In my humble opinion, this manufacturer is, at best, disreputable. Consider the following: [1] my package was received in a box with Asian markings; [2] these mats are advertised as heavy duty, which I believe to be false advertising. Why? Because I have had the ability to compare this product with a similar product - the result is that they are identical in every respect - same size and no "extra thickness". My conclusion: do not trust this manufacturer. But again, it's just my opinion.

According to Wondfo and Amazon, the green handled strips are not authentic and will probably not give you correct results. I would contact Amazon customer service and see if they can give you a credit/get your money back. At the very least report the seller you bought your wondfos from. I know a lot of girls who have had success with this. To my knowledge, these companies have been vetted and are real wondfo suppliers and can be found on Amazon; TEST `A-SURE iFast Fairview Mart DING!

I have no idea. If you have reason to suspect that there is arsenic in Japonica rice, you could contract with any independent testing laboratory for their analysis. If by any chance they report any, I would be interested in those results.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

I don't recall seeing the label with that information. However, you could contact the company where you purchased it & get the contact information of the company that made them, contact them & ask what chemicals are in it; then you can make an informed decision as to where you want to use them. That is a concerning statement, thank you for sharing it.

I don't have any idea about the testing. My skin did not like this product and I thought it had a very strong chemical smell.

I do not know it this product is tested for radiation and pesticide residue. I suggest you contact Great Eastern Sun, in Asheville, NC at customersvc@great-eastern-sun.com or www.great-eastern-sun.com or call at 828 665 7790. I have used the product for several years and enjoy it so much. Consuming several sheets of this a day has helped my hypothyroidism greatly.

Im still testing. I just ordered three more bottles and the folks at Flexasil are asking for my order number from Amazon for a free bottle.I certainly want it to work. LOL I will post to the site in about a month.I can say my digestion is way better than Trigosamine was treating me.

Good question. The writing on the packaging was in Japanese. Hopefully it is BPA free. I wouldn't use clay in it because that is powerful and can draw toxins out of plastic. And not too hot of water.

Don't know about testing. I am a pretty rough guy and can Choke almost anything down but this stuff smells like a sewage lagoon and I gagged trying to get it down. It didn't make me sick, but not a pleasant experience. I'm a 53 yo Alaska fisherman that can basically eat a leather boot with ketchup on it but I'm not man enough for this stuff
