Hi Tamara, I’m new to your information and wondering about a couple products. Have you tested plain white Correlle Ware dishes? Also, have you tested Little Tykes vintage toys from the 80s? Thank you for responding, Nancy

A friend just sent this to me. I am shocked because I have so many pieces of this in my cabinets and have used them for years!
What should I do with all of it?
I don’t want to use it anymore, nor do I want to expose anyone else to lead poisoning!
Thanks, Connie
Hello,
If there is lead in the milkglass but the glass is not painted, does that mean it is still transferable? I understand that the black paint is a different story- but what about the glass itself?
The Lead levels in milk glass vary – some might have enough lead to transfer, so it is not safe to use these (out of an abundance of caution).
