Background updated September 2022:
Tamara Rubin is a Federal-award-winning independent advocate for consumer goods safety and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children. Tamara’s sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in August of 2005. She began testing consumer goods for toxicants in 2009 and was the parent-advocate responsible for finding Lead in the popular fidget spinner toys in 2017. Her work was also responsible for two CPSC product recalls in the summer of 2022, the Jumping Jumperoo recall (June 2022) and the Lead painted NUK baby bottle recall (July 2022) and was featured in an NPR story about Lead in consumer goods in August of 2022. Tamara uses XRF testing (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals), including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic. All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate, and replicable. Items are tested multiple times, to confirm the test results for each component tested and reported on.

Studio Nova – Fire & ice – AAO22 Fresh Mint – made in Japan – I read on the dish you tested on this article, likely the one I listed here is not safe either??? Do you have any testing on mine? Thank you in advance for your time and reply
I have some Studio Nova plates in a different pattern made in Japan. I would like to know if there is a difference in Japan verses Thailand.
I just bought a set of it and found out about it. Lost the receipt. Unable to donate bc others may use it
