Tamara Rubin
Tamara Rubin is the founder of Lead Safe Mama, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about lead exposure and advocating for safer consumer products.

Rubin utilized XRF lead detection tools to test popular toothpaste brands, uncovering alarming levels of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium in widely used products. Her recent investigation prompted public health advocates to criticize the regulatory limits on heavy metals in consumer products, highlighting the urgent need for stricter safety standards.
