Is your Barbie safe for your kids to play with? A discussion on the concern for unsafe levels of Lead (& other toxicants) in vintage Barbie dolls
Vintage Corelle “Meadow” dish — positive for FOUR poisons (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury & Antimony) on the food surface, including 16,700 ppm Lead (90 ppm & up is unsafe for kids)
Vintage Anchor Hocking amber thumbprint style glass: Lead-free, Cadmium-free, Arsenic-free, Mercury-free, Antimony-free.
“If the Lead is only on the OUTSIDE (… of my dish, measuring cup, mixing bowl, etc.) why does it matter?”
1976 Bunnykins baby plate: 77,900 ppm Lead. This would be highly illegal if made for use by kids today.
1976 Bunnykins bowl: 59,000 ppm Lead. Anything above 90 ppm Lead is illegal in items made today for use by children.
