Corelle Coordinates White Porcelain Mug with Black Stripe Design: 6,300 ppm Lead (90 is unsafe in kids’ items.)

When tested with an XRF instrument the mug pictured here had the following readings:

Test focused on area of mug with black stripe:

• Lead (Pb): 6,300 +/- 157 ppm
• Barium (Ba): 184 +/- 50 ppm
• Chromium (Cr): 791 +/- 104 ppm
• Tin (Sn): 48 +/- 15 ppm
• Zinc (Zn): 11,500 +/- 300 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 1,606 +/- 182 ppm
• Bismuth (Bi): 58 +/- 27 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 561 +/- 54 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 802 +/- 77 ppm
• Cobalt (Co): 1,576 +/- 139 ppm
• Mn: 954 +/- 233 ppm

Test focused on area of mug with only plain white glaze:

• Lead (Pb): 138 +/- 17 ppm
• Barium (Ba): 162 +/- 44 ppm
• Zinc (Zn): 12,800 +/- 300 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 1,476 +/- 166 ppm
• Bismuth (Bi): 87 +/- 16 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 109 +/- 29 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 348 +/- 51 ppm

Metals not detected by the XRF in “Consumer Goods” mode are not listed. Tests were done for a minimum of 60 seconds each to confirm the reading. Results are science-based and replicable and conducted with a Niton XL3T XRF in “Consumer Goods” mode.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
