Where are they made? Do they have lead & cadmium?

I believe they are made in England. Not sure about cadmium, but they should be lead free. I like mine very much.

I was disappointed to see they were made in China. The packaging is beautiful, but each plate had a sticker saying it was made in China. Don't know about the lead and Cadmium. I must admit, I still like them.

They're made in Waterbury, CT. I'm not sure if they contain lead and cadmium but I'm able to microwave them without the pieces becoming too hot to handle. They're very durable. I've knocked them together many times with no chipping or cracking. I love them.

They appear to be made from pottery clay and painted. We have used them with no ill effects; but I don't know if they are lead free.

I would not be certain they are lead free if they are from China. There was a big to-do years ago when it was discovered that the Polly-Pocket merchandise (interchangeable clothing that felt rubbery like silicone, though I can't say what they were made from) had lead in them. You would think that baking products wouldn't have lead (common sense) but China has different laws in this. I know that certain supplements and naturopathic things from China one ingests may contain lead and may not be labeled.

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?

No they are not. I believe they are made in china. I don't have it right here before me at the moment.

Not sure if I missed where these are manufactured, but I went back to read && it didn't exactly give me a country. Like most things these days, I'm gonna assume they were made in China. I think maybe I read someone else say they were made in China. Sorry I can't be more specific :/

probably porcelain or ceramics. I'm not sure exactly. Because they are made in Japan, I don't think they contain any heavy metal.

I believe that they are made in China. The packaging does not specify. However, the individual parts have English and Chinese characters on them. For me it does not matter as I have used these for a few years now with no issues.

I am guessing they do not contain lead, since toys made overseas are put through a rigorous testing process before being sold here. (My dad was a manager of a wholesale distribution company, which is how I know all about this.) It says on the box that they are made in China. The back of the box states, "Melissa and Doug products meet or exceed all U.S. toy testing standards and pass our high quality requirements." I bought these almost three years ago though, so maybe the packaging states something different now. Good luck!

I have no idea where these are made from. Amazon should be able to answer this.

They're made from graphite but I don't know where they are made. Very good quality, though.

I sent email to redvanilla.com about this. The answer from them is: "Yes, it is lead and cadmium free."

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!

Sorry, I looked but could not find anything indicating where these are made.

I don't know where they are made but I bought these for my daughter in law for Christmas and she uses them everyday and they still look new. I would buy them again. I also read lots of reviews about rust and staining but these are great! Hope this helps.

I seriously hope not. And if there is, I don't think the manufacturer would be advertising that fact. Feel free to get them tested and I'll join in the class action lawsuit if you find lead (or chromium or uranium) in them!

probably made in china. Couldn't find sticker that was on the bottom when it arrived but I recall the box and it seemed to be typical of chinese boxes. They are solid white and from my understanding the lead problem is a concern with colored items but I doubt whether there is any assurance that anything made in China is guaranteed to meet US safety standards. These are well made and heavy but if in doubt look for another.
