Green (Recycled?) Glass Mug: 431 ppm Lead. [For context: 100 ppm Lead is considered unsafe in toys.]

When tested with an XRF instrument this clear glass mug (with green tint, probably recycled glass) had the following readings:

• Lead (Pb): 431 ppm
• Mercury (Hg): Negative/Non-Detect (ND)
• Cadmium (Cd): Negative/Non-Detect (ND)

Glassware with a tint often has at least some level of Lead. Recycled glassware also often has at least some level of Lead.

My favorite Lead-free/Lead-safe mug (that I use every day in my home) is made by ForLife. All of the ForLife mugs that I have tested to date have been Lead-free (and they are also advertised as Lead-free). You can see an example of one those here on Amazon*:

• ForLife Purple Mug
• For Life Green Mug
• ForLife White Mug

I also use restaurant quality clear glass mugs in my home (which are also Lead-free.) [Similar to these on Amazon.]
