Do ceramic dishes have lead in them?



  1. 0 Votes

    Lead is used in the glazes or decorations covering the surface of
    some ceramic dishes. This lead can get into food and drink prepared, stored, or served in the dishes.

    The U.S. Food and Drug administration regulates the sale of tableware that contains lead. Tableware exceeding the FDA levels cannot be sold legally in the U.S.

    In California, Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings when they expose the public to hazardous chemicals like lead. Proposition 65 standards for lead in dishes are much stricter than the FDA standards.
