Question About Testing Temp-tations - Page 2

The current statement indicates that the product meets all standards. That means that any lead content is within those standards. The product can be shipped to California, which means that it meets Prop 65 standards as well.

Personally, if I were inclined to purchase TT, which I am not, I would not be concerned about lead poisoning.

why does there seem to be a "witch hunt" for lack of better words on the vendor and these pieces lately? Do people that buy stoneware and ceramics and such in local stores have those tested for lead? I don't know why but it almost seems that with all the threads about TT being dangerous, cracking, containing lead etc. an innocent bystander would wonder what is going on here.

There have been and still are many other types of cookware around, some I see regularly in TJ Maxx that say Made in Portugal, or Made in Italy or of course the Polish Stoneware and I don't think people that buy them concern themselves with all these issues. I would guess that if something cracked, they would take it back and get a refund. With all the millions of pieces she has sold, if the percentage of problems is 1-2%, that is probably about the same as any other brand.

If people don't like that it is MIC, then I would say, don't buy it for that reason, but to buy it, then complain just doesn't make sense.
