This is why #Prop65 is important.
Of course if nobody tests the toothpaste for children I guess nobody would know to put the warning on it, according to consumer labs this toothpaste had #lead in it.

A screenshot from consumer labs, I’m likely breaking the law because I think it’s copyrighted. But I don’t care. I feel I have a moral obligation to warn people who don’t pay for a consumer labs. They can sue me if they want to, but please don’t tell on me.

It says:

“Be aware that some tooth powders, including Remineralizing Tooth Powder, contain bentonite clay which, as noted earlier, may contain lead and other heavy metals. If the powder is not swallowed, the risk would be small, but this should be avoided by children who might swallow the powder. Tests published in April 2025 by Lead Safe Mama found as much as
7,800 ppb (7.8 mcg/g) in Primal Life Dirty Mouth
Kids Tooth Powder, 4,258.4 ppb in VanMan's Miracle Tooth Powder, and a much lower 593 ppb in Just Ingredients Tooth Powder.
(Somewhat lower concentrations of 302.1 to 568.1 ppb were found in popular toothpastes but pose little risk). As less than 0.5 grams of powder is typically used, the largest potential lead exposure if completely swallowed would be 3.8 mcg. This would exceed the California Prop
65 warning limit of 0.5 mcg and the FDA's 2.2Continuation of the section from the other screenshot:

“568.1 ppb were found in popular toothpastes but pose little risk). As less than 0.5 grams of powder is typically used, the largest potential lead exposure if completely swallowed would be 3.8 mcg. This would exceed the California Prop
65 warning limit of 0.5 mcg and the FDA's 2.2 mcg suggested maximum daily intake limit for children, but would fall below the 8.8 mcg daily limit for women of childbearing age (Flannery, Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 2022). The tests also showed small amounts of arsenic in bentonite-
containing tooth powders, but the highest amount was 2.8 mcg per serving in VanMan's Miracle Tooth Powder, which is below the 10-meg limit used both by the EPA (based on a liter of water) and California (for a warning label on a product).
Toothpaste vs. Tooth Tablets”

California's Proposition 65, which requires warning labels on products that contain harmful amount of carcinogens or teratogens, has led companies to reformulate their products to eliminate those chemicals, both for the California market and beyond.

In California, you’re probably aware of Prop 65. It’s the regulation requiring product labels for potential cancer causing elements and they appear to be everywhere. It is also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

This is CA.gov explaining “How chemicals are added to the Prop 65 list”

I have a question for those who might know the history of Proposition 65: can anyone help me find why some folks might say the original cadmium levels were made up? Or can you point me to someone to ask?

The furthest I've gotten is that the cadmium recommendations were based originally on a 1981 EPA report (that I still need to read), and then ingestion limits were updated in 1997. And yet I've found several articles claiming the limits at first were made up.

WARNING: This video contains hot takes known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Mostly because it's my voiceover.
