So, is it likely that the bowls and mugs from this set are also lead-free? Thanks for all you are doing!
thank you for testing these Ikea plates. These plates come in different colours and in bowls. Are they also lead free, cadmium free and Antimony free? I’m making a trip to Ikea next week and would love to buy some in different colours:) Thank you

Hi Dena,
My readers direct the things I test by sending me things for testing. I am sorry but I am not accepting new items for testing at this time, but if you subscribe to my newsletter (it’s free) you will be among the first to know when I start testing things again.
Tamara
thank you how do I subscribe to newsletters 🙂
Tamara were you ever able to test Ikea basic white tempered dishes Oftast? Are they safe? Thanks for this blog its awesome!
Are the Ikea 12011 microwave/dishwasher safe?
Thank you
Hi Tamara, I haven’t found the gray blue plates from IKEA lately. Now they seem to have made the plate in a few other colors. I bought the stone colored ones. Do you think these are similar (Lead-free) to / safe like the gray blue ones? Thanks, Kim
