I bought 12 of these in June of this year and LOVE them! They are just beautiful and I don't believe that the lead content is an issue. The beverage doesn't sit in the glass for a prolonged period of time to leach any lead into the liquid. That would be a problem when storing liquor in a lead-crystal decanter, more likely. Just as a note, I also ordered the juice glasses, a very lovely, small glass that works just beautifully for the juice.

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.

It is glass so the bpa is not an issue, and they are being made after the ban on using lead in items. Although i do not know where they are made, so if they are made in China that could be a problem. I love the one I have.

I believe it is quite safe to use. :) I made sure to read the description before i purchased it and it says that the product is FDA aprroved. In my opinion, I think it is a fairly high quality product. Lead shouldn't be in a FDA approved item.

Yes! Great if you have children and you don't want them exposed to harmful lead, these bowls are lead free.

These are complex plastics made from petroleum and some are toxic. The fittings are usually polypropylene with low toxicity (most of these products are made in China so you can expect some lead and other contaminates in almost every product they sell- especially pet food!); garden hoses are another thing. If the company does not advertise "okay for potable water" I wouldn't drink or run drinking water through it.

Crystal is a generic term and can refer to any glass. Diamax is a term used by Cristal D'arques to refer to nonleaded glass. When speaking of leaded crystal, most people are thinking of glass with 24 % lead content. It's more expensive to use lead in the process, so the nonleaded glasses can be sold cheaper. Although pregnant women and children probably shouldn't drink from leaded glasses, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that healthy people face any risk from using leaded glassware. However, liquids should never be stored in a leaded container.

When I contacted the manufacture of another beverage container they make similar to this one they said it had lead in it. And said it was safe for food?

They are filled with a safe distilled water, no gel or anything harmful. In the past, I have had them crack & the contents empty into the glass. They will even refill with the drink liquid, if the crack is big enough.

i sure hope not, my kids have been bathing in this tub for the last few years!!!! did you hear that there is lead in the product?

It is my understanding that all good crystal has some lead content ( it is not dangerous). However, unglazed pottery that is handpainted should not be used for food or beverages because of high levels of lead in the paints.

I'm no expert, but I understand that all crystal has lead in it. As to being dishwasher-safe, the acommpanying brochure that came with the glasses states that they should not be washed in a dishwasher. I find dish soap and hot water work fine.

I would not think that they contain lead. They were not made in a third world country. I love the glasses. Brings back memories of the ones we used while I was growing up.

I would visit their website and ask them. Good question! Here is what the Amazon site says: BPA-Free, lead free, cadmium free, toxin-free, worry free glass water bottle product. The company is Glasstic.

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

No idea. I would check with the manufacturer. I don't know if any plants are still using lead in the manufacture of glass.
