XRF readings:
Lead: 1744 ppm · Cadmium: 0 ppm · Arsenic: 163 ppm
Verdict: Elevated: keep away from children regardless
This NEW-ish (c. 2017) handheld citrus juicer: 1,744 ppm Lead. 90 ppm is unsafe for kids. I recommend avoiding these. tested at 1744 ppm lead, significantly elevated. The bioavailability question (can this lead reach a person?) depends on whether the lead is locked into a fired matrix or sitting on a painted surface. Arsenic reads 163 ppm, worth noting on top of the lead question.
What this XRF reading actually means →
XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not measure whether that lead can reach a person. That distinction matters for how you should react to this number. Read the full primer.
