Does this pot contain lead?

No. I called Cuisinart's customer service. The representative took the time to look it up: "No sir, there is no lead in the enamel."

If I had seen that I would not have bought it or used it. It is heavy cast iron with an enamel coating. Makes the best roast I have ever eaten.

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.

It is a pretty set in a very nice basket. I was very pleased with the set for the money and my Granddaughter loves playing with it. I do not know if the paint has lead or not.

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.

From their website: "DO VITACLAY ® POTS CONTAIN ANY LEAD?Our pots have been tested by an independent laboratory for lead contamination. This lab, like most others, can detect lead up to 0.01% or 100 parts per million (the same standard applied to children's toys). When testing our clay pot, the lab concluded that our pot is at least 99.99% lead-free. In other words, our pots may actually be 100% lead-free but the lab can't measure them to this level of accuracy.We've long believed our pots are in fact 100% lead-free, but we cannot make this claim for legal reasons."I don't know where it was made and I seem to have misplaced the booklet that came with it, so I can't look to see.

Yes. The lid and strainer that is attached to the lid have plastic parts. The actual pot is 100% metal..

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

My understanding is that lead is contained only in crystal (that's why one shouldn't put alcoholic beverages in crystal decanters for long periods, as the lead can leach out into the drink); this carafe is supposed to be glass, so no lead. I use mine as a bedside water container anyway, so even if it had lead in it, I don't believe there would be any risk.

Not sure if it is still true. When it arrived there was a sticker on the box that said "contains lead".

The pot is described as stainless steel if it contains aluminum I could not say because I bought it believing that what amazon says in their description is the truth.

Yes and no. It will melt lead but I don't think the lead will fit in this pot. The top of the pot is only about 4-5" across. Moreover modern batteries have very little lead and are mixed with toxic airborne chemicals. If I were you I would avoid it and look for wheel weights, diver weights, scrap lead and the like. Stay safe.

Can't tell u if it's lead free. It is made in China. It says so right on the crock pot.

I am not sure of if this has lead but anyway this product lasted only 2 cooks. I am not using this no more.

No, it doesn't. But why would it need to? This is an absolutely 100% pure product - there is no lead and the FDA recognizes it as safe for consumption.

The FAQ on the Vita Clay Website says that the pot was tested in an independent lab for lead contamination and they obtained the result 99.99% lead free, It says also that the pot could be actually 100% lead free (as the lab does not measure this level of accuracy). There is no mention to cadmium free but inquiries to Vita Clay customer Service could clarify this issue.

Hi Sandy,In the older pieces made in theUS there is no lead, but the newer pieces are being made in China and do have small amounts of lead in them. I hope this helps.Bella
