Every brand whose products we've reviewed gets a page — how many of their products we've tagged, which lists they appear in, and what we'd buy or skip. Brand pages are generated from the product records, so the counts are always current.

A brand tier is a summary, never a verdict.Tiers are computed from the products we've already tagged — a brand can have a “Strong record” and still have one product we'd skip, and a brand on watch can make one thing we love. Always read the product page. Brands we've fully reviewed also carry a safety grade — that one is our editorial verdict, and it links to the full review. How brand tiers are calculated

- Klean KanteenAcceptablefood-storage · feeding · Klean Kanteen, Inc. is based in Chico, California. In March 2024 Think Better Group announced its acquisition of the company in partnership with the ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund; terms were not disclosed. B Lab's directory, read on 2026-10-16, lists Klean Kanteen as a Certified B Corporation since September 2012 with an overall score of 110.9, headquartered in California and operating in China and the United States. The directory's description still calls the company family-owned, which predates the 2024 sale. The company's site also says it has been Climate Neutral Certified since 2020 and has moved to The Climate Label, and that it gives 1 percent of sales through 1% for the Planet; we did not read either organization's register. B Corp, Climate Neutral and 1% for the Planet describe the company or one attribute, not what is in a product, so they are recorded here and are not what the grade rests on. The brand's own pages say its steel is certified 90 percent post-consumer recycled 18/8 stainless with the recycled content verified by Intertek, give the type 304 composition ranges, and describe the bottle and the lunch box as BPA-, BPS-, BPF- and lead-free; we did not see a published food-contact test report. In May 2010 the company recalled the Sport Cap 2.0 water bottle spouts, sold from April 2009 to April 2010 (CPSC recall 10-218, with Health Canada); the remedy was a free replacement. We found no later recall under Klean Kanteen in the CPSC recall database and no recall in openFDA's drug, food or device enforcement data naming the company; the openFDA matches for "Klean" are unrelated bowel-preparation drugs. We found no 60-day notice under California's Proposition 65 naming Klean Kanteen as an alleged violator or its products as the source as of 2026-10-16. CourtListener searches on 2026-10-16 under the trade name return two federal dockets that name the company as a defendant. Staychock v. Klean Kanteen, Inc. (E.D. Cal. 2:17-cv-01012, filed 2017-05-15, terminated 2018-08-22) was a patent infringement case. Estevez v. Klean Kanteen, Inc. (S.D.N.Y. 1:21-cv-08830, filed 2021-10-28, terminated 2021-12-17) was an Americans with Disabilities Act civil-rights case. Neither is a product-safety or labeling matter. The company was the plaintiff in a 2016 trademark action, Klean Kanteen, Inc. v. Bean Logik, LLC (W.D. Wash. 3:16-cv-05047). In 2024 lawsuits over lead in Stanley tumblers mentioned Klean Kanteen only as a competitor.6products3lists1picks0avoid
- LunchBotsAcceptablefood-storage · We found no recall under LunchBots, O2COOL, O2 Cool or O2C in CPSC's recall database, searched by recall title, manufacturer and product name, or in openFDA enforcement data as of 2026-10-12, and no California Proposition 65 notice naming LunchBots. Two records under the parent's name concern sibling brands and not LunchBots: CPSC recall 23-711 of 2022-11-23, in which Green Sprouts Inc. of Asheville, North Carolina, recalled about 10,500 stainless-steel toddler bottles and cups because the base "can break off, exposing a solder dot that contains lead" — nine months before O2C Brands announced it was buying that brand — and Proposition 65 notice AG 2025-02252 of 2025-07-08, which names O2Cool, LLC and a retailer over PFOS in "dry burp pads" and which, under a warning-label statute, alleges a missing warning rather than an unsafe product. No third-party product certification was found for LunchBots. O2C Brands is listed as a business member in 1% for the Planet's own directory — a giving commitment, not a safety certification, and not counted toward the grade. A search of federal dockets as of 2026-10-12 found none naming LunchBots or Middleton O2COOL LLC; the dockets naming the parent as O2COOL, LLC include patent suits, two customs cases in the Court of International Trade, bankruptcy matters and a 2025 suit it filed against a retailer, and none carries a product-liability or consumer-protection code.

- PackItAcceptablefood-storage · We found no recall under PackIt, Pack It or PackIt, LLC in CPSC's recall database, searched by recall title, manufacturer and product name, or in openFDA enforcement data as of 2026-10-12, and no California Proposition 65 60-day notice — a notice under the state's warning-label law — naming PackIt or Tenth Avenue in the Attorney General's register as of the same date. No third-party certification was found or is claimed; the company's statement is that its products "are tested by independent, accredited third-party laboratories and have met all applicable standards set forth by OEHHA Proposition 65 and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), including those for BPA, lead and phthalates," with no laboratory named and no report published. The product page's "antimicrobial, food-safe lining" names no agent. The only federal dockets naming the company are two patent cases (McCrory v. Packit, LLC, 2011-2012, and PackIt, LLC v. Newell Brands, Inc., 2018), neither a safety matter.

How brand tiers are calculated
Tiers derive from the SafeMama Scores and recall records of a brand's tagged products — nothing is assigned by hand, and a tier updates the moment its products do.
- On watchAny product currently under an active recall.
- Not yet ratedNo products with a computed SafeMama Score yet.
- Strong recordEvery scored product sits in the Safer-choice band (80 or above).
- Mixed recordAnything else — at least one scored product below 80.
The score formula itself is published at how we choose.
