Earthwise Stands Behind Their Reusable Bags
To All our Valued Customers,
We certainly appreciate your concerns regarding the safety of reusable shopping bags. We say with complete confidence and definitive testing evidence that Earthwise reusable bags are safe for consumer use. Our reusable bags meet or exceed Federal Consumer Product Safety Standards in accordance with the CPSIA 2008. These are stringent government standards that also apply to lead safety in toys and other consumer products. Earthwise has a long standing testing protocol in place that ensures the products we produce and distribute are safe. As part of this protocol, we routinely test a variety of materials and inks. As a family owned small business, we are dedicated to providing safe, high quality products that are good enough for our own families as well as yours.
It is unfortunate and irresponsible that many of the headlines dominating news articles and broadcasts chose to promote fear over facts in citing that reusable bags pose health and safety concerns. There is a growing amount of misleading and downright fictional details about lead content in reusable bags. The benefits of reusable bags far outweigh any detracting characteristics. As Senator Schumer said himself during the recent press conference, “People are going to ask, is there an immediate danger?’” Schumer said. “The good news is there’s not”. Please look to our website to keep you informed.
Thank you,
The Earthwise Bag Team
A California Small Business of Dedicated Employees
