Wow. Just Wow. Many people are not willing to play Russian Roulette either.
I am disappointed and annoyed by all the people:
1. who say the manufacturer is lying about what they put in their product.
why on earth would the manufacturer do that?
2. are in denial when people with knowledge and experience point out
well documented serious chemical dangers, and say these people don't
know what they are talking about. In reality these people are trying
to keep someone from getting sick or killed and they are being told they
are talking nonsense.
3. say "see, I proved every one wrong! RESULTS ARE IN!" based on a
flawed backyard stunt (0.0% impurities? really? not likely) and then
other people read that "it's SAFE!", and based on one likely flawed
data point, proceed to put themselves and innocent people around them
in danger because one person claims to be a know it all.
Remember, dross from the smelt later exposed to water can produce poison gas
days after you smelted.

What counts is now, not before it left the factory.

You know as well as I that being a manufacturer of "mission critical
military equipment" is no golden guarantee that everything they do,
make or test is accurate. Their equipment can go out of cal just like
everyone else's, or be used incorrectly.
They put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
Trotting out the "military" buzzword is just a version of "Argument
from authority".
