  1. 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

    1. 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 (itโ€™s free) you will be among the first to know when I start testing things again.

  2. Tamara were you ever able to test Ikea basic white tempered dishes Oftast? Are they safe? Thanks for this blog its awesome!

  3. 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
