2013 Starbucks Coffee Company Espresso Collectable Cup, Peru: 16,900 ppm Lead + 4,606 ppm Arsenic Too!
2013 Starbucks Peru mini mug / espresso cup
As high as 16,900 ppm Lead &
4,606 ppm Arsenic.
Just because a mug is small does not mean it was made for use by children!!! The amount of Lead that is considered illegal in a newly manufactured item intended for use by children is anything 90 ppm Lead or higher in the paint / coating/ glaze or 100 ppm Lead or higher in the substrate.

Would be helpful to know if the inside (that makes contact with food and drink) contains the lead, or whether it is decoration on the outside (that doesn’t typically contact food and drink) that tested high. Would like to know if it’s one, the other, or both. Sometimes you identify this (as in pyrex with designs printed on the outside). But I have not seen it for all dishes and mugs.
Hi Georgia,
It’s stated in my newer posts but not in my older posts.
