CDC paper. The company responsible for one of these poisonings is likely Oh Sweet Art, located in Palm Bay, Florida.

Their decorative “non-toxic” powders, which may contain up to 25% lead, are still available on Amazon (lol).

Modified the title to reflect what, specifically, is a problem with the cakes, so there’s no panic about every hunk of fondue.

Archiving a few Amazon pages related to these potentially leaded products

After some digging, the people associated with selling these products on Amazon seem to be resellers. Since they’re likely not involved in making the lead powders, I won’t bother getting into names-and-addresses stuff. Still tryna find the source but the Florida business entity search is down for me.

edit: I found out that the people distributing this stuff on Amazon are also the people who co-founded the company that made the leaded powder sprinkles, so… smaller world than I was expecting, but hopefully that means it’s a smaller operation that hasn’t harmed that many people.

Lol one of the reviews is a guy who has been putting it on cakes for his clients. They are “very pleased”
