Does the ceramic part contain lead?

No mention of lead in the user manual, but ceramic pots "might" contain lead. Visit this link and decide for yourself. http://tinyurl.com/bp9eqg2

Im on the search for a lead free slow cooker. I called the company and they claim the ceramic pot, and enamel/glaze on the pot are lead free. Ive also read blogs and comments of other women calling and getting the same answer, and even doing their own lead test at home, that showed negative results for lead.

I called the Cuisinart customer service line and asked this question. They said that even though this product is made in China, it is made to FDA standards and does not contain any lead in the glaze.

I make porcelain pottery in my studio. It would be very unlikely that it would have any lead in it because lead is used to get bright colors. This is pure white and would not need lead to get that look.

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).

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

Certainly, I am not the manufacturer so obviously, only the manufacturer can give you a true answer to your question. However, I do know the teapot is made from borosilicate glass and to the best of MY knowledge, borosilicate glass does not contain lead. It is widely used in lab equipment. BTW.. the company Grosche that manufacture the teapots is from Canada. I strongly suggest you contact them directly at sales@grosche.ca to get a reliable answer.

Yes, it does. Not sure what part of the tank has lead in it, but there is a distinct warning. Debating sending mine back due to this not being stated in the product description.

I am not sure if this ceramic have lead, not all ceramic is contaminated with lead, I hope not, but if so, manufacture should advice to consumers. I know for sure the Grecian to tint gray hair for man have lead and the product is still on shelves in stores like HEB, Walmart, etc.

As far as I know, yes. There cannot be any cookware in North America that contains lead.

I don't know. Possibly. I don't think the package says lead free. Ask the manufacturer.

Yes as far as I can tell . I researched this brand and it is suppose to be lead free .

I'm pretty sure that no Pyrex glass contains lead. My understanding is that the only (drinking) glass you'd find lead in is crystal.

I don't believe it has lead in it-it doesn't taste like it has lead in it. It tastes great to me.

I don't believe it contains any lead, as that is now banned.I use it in my old British Bikes and did use it in my old MGB, which had a racing head without hardened valve seats.I found no issues with it.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.
