DAD ERUPTS AFTER LAB TESTS TOM'S CHILDREN’S TOOTHPASTE — SHOWS “10X FDA LIMIT” FOR LEAD “It’s full of f**king lead.” After critics said he “used the home test wrong,” this father says he sent the Tom's toothpaste to an independent lab for mass spectrometry testing. He claims the official results came back: • 496 ppm lead • Over 200 ppm arsenic • Cadmium detected • Nearly 10 times higher than FDA recommended limits The product is marketed toward kids. “I was giving it to my children.” Now he’s demanding answers on camera, asking how something allegedly testing that high is still on shelves. If these numbers are accurate… how is this acceptable?











American tested the popular brand Tom's Toothpaste - Lead tested nearly 50x higher than what’s considered safe by the FDA - Arsenic tested 81x higher - Cadmium tested 9x higher We are being poisoned in America ‘In cosmetics, the FDA has set an allowable threshold for lead of 10 ppm. The Toms toothpaste I was giving to my children tested for almost 50x that limit’ Arsenic (244 mg/kg = 244 ppm): Using the strictest relevant FDA benchmark for color additives = 8,033% above (or about 81x higher) Cadmium (27 mg/kg = 27 ppm): Using a typical strict reference from color additive or international cosmetic guidelines = 800% above (or 9x higher)
