Are my favorite dishes toxic? I hope not! I'm doing my homework!
I am not making any claims about any of these dishes because I don't know the definite answer. I am only doing my homework and I encourage you to do your homework as well. This topic first came on my radar because my mom had read about it. There is a lady who has done a lot of research on lead, cadmium, and other chemical levels in dishes. You can find her website here https://tamararubin.com/
I'm not a scientist and I've never done any testing on any of these products, but you can bet I'll be looking into this!

I was confused about the melamine recall years ago. It wasn't dishes that were recalled, but rather foods that were tainted with melamine, HOWEVER there is a possibility that melamine can leach into foods when melamine dishes and cookware are used incorrectly.
For past issues with dish and cookware safety, see the following:
