Is the crockery free of lead paint? Made in China, I really wonder.

I'm not for sure about that. However, I will tell you this crock pot is not good! I sent the first one back to Hamilton beach, the counter top underneath it became very hot, to hot to touch the counter top. The second one did the same thing. I would never leave my house with this on. I called HB to request a refund and they refused. I am going to see if I can get a refund through Amazon. It seems to be made very cheaply, the outer container is thin.

James, You would have to research the manufacturer to make sure there are standards met. I am not their when they make the product or have knowledge of the process. Sorry. Regards,

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

Made in Spain. I assumed it was lead free since I bought it in California, but now I'm not sure.

I would imagine it is lead free. This particular crock pot just came out around 5 or 6 years ago. Since I use mine 4 days of the week out of seven if there was lead I think we would have had a problem by now. The crocks look pretty much like all crocks in these kind of pots and I just can not imagine that there would be any lead involved. This is a guess on my part though, and frankly, regardless, I am still going to be using mine. Nothing that comes out of it tastes like it has been sitting in liquid all day.

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.

No clue on where it was made, but just thought I'd mention; the at home lead tests aren't suitible for testing the paint on plastic toys. Those tests are meant for older house paint which is much more poreous and allows the lead to be detected. There is no "at home" test kit that is reliable enough to test the plastic or metal paint on kids toys, only the wood ones.

I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised if it was china. The non-stick coating is just spray painted on, that's all....

I looked on the underside to find them stamped "certified lead free made in china". I took that at face value. Draw your own conclusion?

Made in china. See if pioneerpet.com has the answer to your question about lead free and non toxic. I love the bowl. Haven't had any puking cats from over and fast eating since I started using it.

Says made in China...not sure about lead free, but we use them only occasionally (not constantly) so I was not overly concerned for that reason. I don't remember an overwhelming smell, so either it was not strong, or it was not offensive, or both, because I have been aware of strong smells like that with other new items. It has been great for my 4 1/2 yr old sons to somersault on, since we have brick floors in the room where their toys are! My husband also likes to sit or sprawl out on it when he plays games with them! I've done some stretching exercises on them, as well. Glad I bought it!

It appears to be completely made of porcelain, but you may want to contact manufacturer. Can't imagine they would use lead in something that is going to be used for food prep.

Made in Malaysia, lead safe-not sure about paint. I haven't had any issues at all-we love ours!

Not for sure about being lead free. They are made in China. There was a strong odor when you take out of plastic wrap but it goes away, I think it's just that way from packaging and being sealed. Hope this helps!

I was surprised by your question and looked all over my double boiler for the "made in China" mark, but don't see it anywhere. I also googled it (as I'm sure you did as well) and can't find anything about lead content. So "no", I have no idea if it contains lead. If you find out, would appreciate you posting the answer.

Mine is currently in use, thus I cannot look at the bottom or inside of it, but the product description says: "The crock is 100% lead free vitrified porcelain." We've been using our for several years and no signs of lead poisoning yet. (some delirium and lots of insanity however).

Inner container I don't know.The zippered bag potion has a tag that reads - Made in China for 3rd Stone in California. They also list 'lead free' just before
