    Neither of the cited articles mentions the toxicity at all though. Also, are you sure your “typical” bands are free of heavy metals?

      You’re right, nowhere does it mention toxicity, except the entire article.

      And you’re right, I am not sure there aren’t any heavy metals in my leather and fabric straps.

      And you’re also correct that the stainless straps that I do have which I bought from a jeweler I am additionally uncertain about their contents aside from the manufacturers certification.

      But weren’t you talking about silicone?

        No, dude. You don’t understand what I said. You just quoted the original article. I’m saying the cited articles in the article are not be claiming toxicity at all. They are claiming presence, but not toxicity. I do not know where this study got off citing those sources when they make no claims as such.
