The Scary Reason Why You Should Toss Your Vintage Pyrex ASAP
Have you tested melamine dishes, such as Good Housekeeping vintage, also Rubbermaid dishracks and dishpans. Thank You
Melamine is generally Lead-free.
Thank you for your hard work on this site, Anchor Hocking thrift guy claims all clear anchor hocking vintage is lead free. Like punch bowls, all the stuff they used to give people free for coming in their store. The word on lead is really getting out. The problem is they are donating it back to thrift stores instead of throwing it. I threw out a leaded crystal vase probably worth 80 bucks. I don’t want my grandkids to worry about what is left in my house. Getting it out of the thrift stores would help so much. I’m wondering about the covering on the metal of Rubbermaid dish racks and dish pans in various colors. Crayons used to have lead and the colors were much richer I think. Buttons blew me away. How many kids suck on the button eyes of cloth dolls.
