Does the packaging say that it contains lead, or was there a State of California warning sticker on this one about lead?

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

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.

In California, according to Proposition 65, anything that contains ANY substances known as a possible carcinogen must be labelled. That includes all kinds of compounds, including anything with lead in them. Basically, nearly every new piece of electronics, new cars, really just about everything gets the label slapped on to it. A well intentioned law and a bit alarming regarding the prevalence of carcinogens, but it is extremely common for products to have that label and doesn't really have much meaning.

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.

There is nothing on the label saying it contains lead or mercury. It does says it complies with all standards from the US FCC.

I assume it is lead free as i use it every day, for definite answer, check with manufacture. I do not think it would contain any lead as no body would buy it, if there is any health risk involved.

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.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

I just looked at my set and it says it's from Massachusetts but stamped "made in China". Not sure about lead - I wouldn't think so since they're tin and hopefully the paint is embedded enough to not emit any if there was. My grandkids drink real water and sometimes tea from them.

Hi Janie, I don't know where the lead would be, as it's all bamboo. There isn't any place on it that there could even be any lead, not to mention that it is imported and anything that enters our country has to be Rohs compliant. Lead has been banned in the USA since 1978.

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

There is certificate to confirm lead free, but Calf. require Prop. 65 label if there is lead. In this case,I do not see any warning label--meaning no consern of lead contamination.

I checked the bottle and YES there is the Prop 65 warning, but said nothing about lead content.

I wasn't aware that it contains lead. But currently he does not play with it that much but I will watch and see if he start chewing or putting it into his mouth.

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