Has anyone tested these for lead? Any representations on the packaging regarding lead? Thanks!

This company has been manufacturing china since 1815. It is now owned by a company that also owns Waterford Crystal, Spode china, and some others. I would think that if there was any danger of lead in this bone china, it would have been discovered and publicized within the past 199 years of its existence.

Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should? I do not know what the lead content is, but I bought this hose (2 of them actually) as the description states "Commercial grade machined brass fittings are specially plated to prevent lead from leaching into the water. A truly drinking water safe product." It is a tough choice: plastic fittings, which have no lead, but may break easily, or brass fittings, with lead, which are more durable. I honestly don't know what the best answer is, and no, I do not have a better answer to your question. I wish I did. Doesn't Healthy Stuff testing show the lead content? Don't you think they should?

I would not use these for lead dust. These are designed to prevent allergens from entering your nasal area. No matter how you try if you are talking you will be exhaling and by design inhaling thru your mouth. So with that said there would be no protection from lead entering your lungs. If lead dust is a concern go with a N95 dust mask. That should be adequate protection.

I cant say for sure, but these plates are sold by many top dept stores, so I doubt they would sell plates with lead.they are super cute in person

I don't think they are lead. Here is what Nakpunar says about their jars...the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.Apr 22, 2014 by Nakpunar

Yes, there will be some lead, but there are very strict limitations on how much lead, especially in California. I believe the limit is no more than .25% by weight. So, yes, there is lead, but probably not enough to be worried about.

I don't think any stainless steel contains lead. Also I think it would be illegal to sell food grade items with lead in them (you'll notice expensive stainless steel flatware doesn't mention being lead free as a selling point.). I'll also note that this isn't some random brand, I have seen it used in actual restaurants (noticed after I purchased).

Hi! Our bands have been tested here in the US and found to contain no lead or Phthalates. We are one of the only brands to have done this testing. There is a certificate on our product page that shows these results.

I was not aware the product contained lead! Will have to check into it further...

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

I was not aware that this product may contain lead. I will have to check the potential of hazard.

I think they were labeled lead free on the box. I no longer have the box but they must have been as I would not have used them without that assurance.

There is no mention of lead. It is made with 100% "Spectra" fiber by Honewell. Maybe you can research that.

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.

Do you perhaps mean "leaK" proof? It would be an easy typo to make. If you really meant "leaD", I'd say it's highly unlikely to contain lead. If you meant "leaK", I'd be a little reluctant to try it; the lids fit snugly, but it's easy to not get an edge down firmly. I use them for yogurt bought a liter at a time and rarely transport a full one anywhere. I like them enough that when I broke one recently, I ordered a new set so'd have exactly as many as I need. Yes, they are glass and they can break; I dropped one on a laminate countertop from maybe 8" and it broke into a number of pieces of widely varying sizes, some quite sharp. Maybe not for a kid's lunchbox.

Never thought about it. Personally, I doubt there is any lead in the product as I believe there is a law against having lead in any food containers/servers. You might want to ask the company about it.

The only information I found was on squidoo.com that said that all of their dinnerware meets the FDA Standards for lead and calcium(?) releases, so it's "perfectly safe". I assume that implies they are not 100% lead and cadmium free, but are minimal. Personally, I'm really happy with them. I ordered them in 4 different colors. Hope that hellps.
