XRF Test Results: Double Rainbow Crystal Mobile: 300,000 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 300,000 ppm · Cadmium: 21 ppm · Arsenic: 125 ppm Verdict: Extreme, do not use 300,000 ppm lead, roughly 30x the CPSC 90 ppm children's limit. At this concentration, even fired ceramic glaze carries leaching risk under acidic food conditions. No food contact under any circumstances. FluoroSpec will glow. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict on your safety. What matters is whether the lead can actually reach a person. Think of tacks: a box of them in... Read more...
XRF Test Results for Corelle/ Corning Visionware Small Amber Lid Purchased March 2018
XRF readings: Lead: data not on file · Cadmium: 14 ppm · Arsenic: 0 ppm Verdict: Lead-free per XRF This XRF Test Results for Corelle/ Corning Visionware Small Amber Lid Purchased March 2018 carries a Lead-free per XRF verdict in the EverythingLead dataset. Numeric XRF data is not on file for this entry. What this XRF reading actually means → XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not measure whether that lead can reach a person. That distinction matters for how you should react to this number. Read... Read more...

Corelle/ Corning Visionware Medium Amber Lid Purchased March 2018: 222 ppm Lead, 142 ppm Barium
XRF readings: Lead: 222 ppm · Cadmium: 13 ppm · Arsenic: 0 ppm Verdict: Low-elevated: below most adult thresholds This Corelle/ Corning Visionware Medium Amber Lid Purchased March 2018: 222 ppm Lead, 142 ppm Barium reads 222 ppm lead, above the 90 ppm CPSC limit for children's products. Whether the lead can actually reach food depends on whether it's locked into fired glaze (typically not bioavailable) or sitting on surface paint (typically is). What this XRF reading actually means → XRF measures lead presence on the surface. It does not... Read more...

Do my Pioneer Woman dishes have Lead (Pb): 100 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 100 ppm · Cadmium: 41 ppm · Arsenic: not measured Verdict: Low-elevated, below most adult thresholds 100 ppm lead, above the 90 ppm CPSC children's item threshold but well below levels that cause obvious alarm for adult use. FluoroSpec gives the definitive surface answer: glow = reactive lead present, no glow = not in accessible form. There is no safe amount of lead. This number is a starting point, not a verdict on your safety. What matters is whether the lead can actually reach a person. Think... Read more...

Plain White Ceramic Pottery Barn PB Classic Mug: 2,528 ppm lead by XRF
XRF readings: Lead: 2,528 ppm · Cadmium: 78 ppm · Arsenic: not measured Verdict: Elevated, keep away from children regardless 2,528 ppm lead by XRF. Independent leach testing on similar ceramics in this range (up to 3,000 ppm) found no detectable lead migration into food simulant, lead baked into fired glaze is chemically bound and doesn't readily dissolve. This is the key context missing from most XRF-only reporting. That said, children are a different calculus, no safe level applies. FluoroSpec test: if it doesn't glow, the lead is not in...
