Is this crock pot lead free?

To the best ofmy knowledge it is lead free. None of the instructions that come with it say anything about lead and there do not seem to be any lead parts, Hope this helps.

As far as I know, yes. There cannot be any cookware in North America that contains lead.

Yes it is. The "Crock Pot" brand isn't. This is mainly why I purchased this unit.

I checked their website and it says all of their glazes are lead free. One should expect that since they are a domestic producer of food safe containers they would be compliant with US law.

Libbey often advertises their glassware as lead free but it's not specifically listed for these, I'm pretty sure they are lead free however. Significant amounts of lead in crystal glass and glazing on some crockery are the only products I would be concerned about.

The only information I found was on squidoo.com that said that all of their dinnerware meets the FDA Standards for lead and calcium(?) releases, so it's "perfectly safe". I assume that implies they are not 100% lead and cadmium free, but are minimal. Personally, I'm really happy with them. I ordered them in 4 different colors. Hope that hellps.

From their website: "DO VITACLAY POTS CONTAIN ANY LEAD? Our pots have been tested by an independent laboratory for lead contamination. This lab, like most others, can detect lead up to 0.01% or 100 parts per million (the same standard applied to children's toys). When testing our clay pot, the lab concluded that our pot is at least 99.99% lead-free. In other words, our pots may actually be 100% lead-free but the lab can't measure them to this level of accuracy. We've long believed our pots are in fact 100% lead-free, but we cannot make this claim for legal reasons." I don't know where it was made and I seem to have misplaced the booklet that came with it, so I can't look to see.

See http://vitaclaychef.com/faq There is a question asking if the pots contain lead. The answer from this faq is that the cooker was tested to 99.99% lead-free. The lab could not measures to 100% lead-free. They didn't mention anything about cadmium-free.

I do not think all ceramic is contaminated with lead. Manufacture should aware consumer if is a problem with this cookware set.

I am not sure of if this has lead but anyway this product lasted only 2 cooks. I am not using this no more.

No lead. Can not be used on stove top. The glaze is added to the pottery before it goes into the Kiln so that food will not stick.

I'm sure it is lead free. Lead paint is rarely used, and would have to come with a warning. Especially with a product intended for children.

yes, as most crocks are made in China. Ours are made in China and fired in the US and are certified lead free.

I would imagine it is lead free. This particular crock pot just came out around 5 or 6 years ago. Since I use mine 4 days of the week out of seven if there was lead I think we would have had a problem by now. The crocks look pretty much like all crocks in these kind of pots and I just can not imagine that there would be any lead involved. This is a guess on my part though, and frankly, regardless, I am still going to be using mine. Nothing that comes out of it tastes like it has been sitting in liquid all day.

The packaging indicates that they are lead free. However, I have not yet used them in food preparation, so I cannot say. I urge you to contact the seller with your question.

I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

Yes this crockpot does have a Teflon lining. Unfortunately it does not seem to be holding up nearly as well as the first version I had of this same crockpot. I have not had much luck with the glass ones as they eventually seem to always crack. Since you hear about so many things that contain lead that are made in other countries I am not even sure if glass is a safer method. I know you can get some very expensive stainless steel versions which would probably be best if you can afford that.
