Exposing a product safety loophole from @the.lead.lady

The creator directly addresses the camera, asking why the Consumer Product Safety Commission deleted her report on lead paint in baby bottles. She reveals it's because the testing method, which involves grinding up the entire bottle, dilutes the lead concentration, making it technically permissible. She uses screenshots of an official email and regulations as evidence, then physically demonstrates the presence of lead on a bottle using a test swab and a UV light, before warning viewers that these bottles will not be recalled and teasing a larger series of tests.

Transcript excerpt

Why did the Consumer Product Safety Commission delete my report about the lead paint on these baby bottles? Because it's allowed. The way they test for it is to not test the rank itself, but to grind up the entire bottle and test the dust. This is completely allowed. These bottles are not going to get recalled. They're going to continue to be sold.
