Have I tested your mug for lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic? Click through and find out!
This page is a “directory” of sorts, with links below to all of the types of the mugs I have tested to date. I have categorized, tagged and linked all of the mugs that I have listed here on this site below. You can also use the search bar to look for your brand or type of mug. So far I have tested more than 1,000 mugs — and I am adding more mugs all the time, so please do check back later if you don’t find yours now.
Note: sadly, most mugs are leaded. Lead-free mugs are few and far between, but since most of us use our mugs every single day, it’s worth choosing a non-toxic mug as your favorite/daily mug!

Tamara,
Do you report these to the CPSC?
I don’t, mugs with lead are not considered a CPSC violation. However I encourage my followers to report them! There is too much to do for me to do it all myself!
Tamara, have you tested Le Creuset mugs? I have a brown one and a red one.
Hi Lori,
I don’t believe I have tested Le Creuset mugs. I have tested other Le Creuset ceramics though. Have you looked through the Le Creuset category on my blog? There are at least two posts with ceramics from that brand (each high lead): https://tamararubin.com/category/le-creuset/

Hi Tamara! I appreciate all of your hard work & research! I’m curious….. I have matte black (ceramic, I think) coffee mugs from Target. They’re from the Magnolia collection. How do we know if they contain lead? May I ship you one for testing? Do you do that? We drink coffee and/or tea out of them every single day. My daughter & her husband have the same ones.
Thanks for your time –
Ellen
Hi Ellen,
Thanks for commenting!
Here are a few products from the Magnolia collection – they tend to be in the safe range although I have not tested mugs like the ones that you mention (but there is a black glazed ceramic bowl in this set of test results):

Here’s how to send something to me for testing (frankly it is cheaper to just buy a lead-free mug – vs. having me test something – but having me test things helps raise awareness for others, so that is up to you!)
