Made in the U.S.A? Lead free? If made in China these and other glass straws could be toxic.

I would check the website. When I was ordering it I remember reading a lot of material about these items. I think I would have noticed if it were lead and would not order it.

From their website (which says handmade in the USA at the bottom of a few pages): Q: Where are all of your products made?A: Our straws are all hand made in Fort Bragg, California. Our Hemp Sleeves are made in Linden, California. Our cleaning brushes are manufactured in the U.S.These are really great quality and pretty clearly handmade.

The "straw" is made of stainless steel I'm pretty sure (or some other kind of metal) so you should be fine. I love mine and have had it for 5 months now. Hope that helps.

I honestly don't know. I have advised my daughter to always wash everything that is made in China due to this possibility. As well as wash my grandbaby's hands after playing with her toys and supervise her playing with China made toys, etc. so as to keep her from putting them in her mouth.She is never left alone with anything marked "Made in China", fortunately.

There is no indication on the straw or the packaging that it is BPA free. So I would assume no to be on the safe-side. You can also purchase these BPA straws separately if you are concern: WaterU® 10 Pack Reusable Colored Straws

As far as I know, lead is not in glass, usually it's in paint. When I buy ceramics from Mexico, they actually say "lead free" on the bottom. Glass is made from sand.

I would imagine being made in the USA these would be the least toxic. I use mine regularly with sensitive indoor house plants

I don't think so. It is Made In China and I was concerned about the product being BPA free as well. However, I primarily used it for looks, party favors and to hold candy for a 9 year old bowling birthday party. I figure it would be up to the parents if they allowed their children to drink from it or to just use for decorative purposes.

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?

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.

I assume so. Honestly, I just can't imagine that they'd have lead in them. They are a very quality products & absolutely beautiful. I love them!! I would never knowingly have anything that had lead in the glass to drink out of, of course. This is seemingly an extremely high quality way that the color is made into the glass itself, so there is no paint flaking issues like other brands or products have had.

Not sure, unfortunately not many items are made in the USA anymore. Most furniture and glass are made in China.

My recollection is that it came from China. No assurance was given about lead or other toxics. Not asked but: I take this opportunity to note that the ceramic filter absorbs *a lot* of heat while the water drips through.

Per the original bag/wrapper, there is no information about BPA; they are made in China; that being said, they worked perfectly for what we needed...a tall thermal mug, placed in a cup holder on the wheelchair arm...our elderly relative could not pick up the mug but could easily lean over slightly, reach the straw with her mouth and take a sip...anything to get her to drink some liquids! Although relative passed on at age 87, we are continuing to use the straws and love them.

I'm not sure where they are made but I have purchased many, many paper straws over the years and this brand just a few weeks ago. They are completely useless. They mush in liquid within a few minutes, rendering them obviously useless! When I then compared the thickness to the others I have that can and have sat in a cannot tea for many hours, even overnight, I can see how much thinner they are. Don't waste your money on these.

Remember to check for lead content - China is full of it - not so in England. I would never purchase Spode made in China and actually use it for eating. Too scarey

No. These are high quality mugs. I researched them before buying. They are made in the USA without toxic materials in uncontaminated facilities. Virtually all others are from China where quality control can not be trusted. Our imports are rarely tested for toxic materials. Buy the Fiesta mugs with confidence.
