Is this crock certified lead free? I am assuming that since it is made in China, no?

That's a really good question, and one I didn't think to ask. It leaked, anyway, so mine is a planter now.

According to a website that sells the crock, it is lead free. I have sent an inquiry to the New Wave Company and suggested they add this fact to their description of the item.

I don't think it's assumed (any longer) that every piece of crockery made in China contains lead. I defy you to find a piece of chinaware that isn't made in China (of any kind), so if they were using lead, I'd think it would be a big deal.

Right in this post, under product description, it states that it is certified lead free.

I do not know of any such certification. That said pose your question to New Wave Enviro regarding this. I do not think New Wave Enviro would sell any product that had lead. I have two and use them to make Kombucha Tea.

The box I got for my great grandkids said "made in USA" so I can only assume there is NO lead paint. It's the crap made in China that I do not buy that might be a danger. Hope this helps you.

Their web site states that it is lead free. I hope that helps. This has been the easiest cleaning ever. AND its healthy :-)

I own two and I think they are made in China. However they are stamped 18/10 Stainless and it certainly is. Mine have no rust even after repeated rounds in the dishwasher. I use mine every week, never hand wash it, and it still looks new, that is why I did not hesitate to buy a second one.

Hi, Yes it is lead-free, and what a wonderful rice cooker. I broke the lid not long after purching it, but it still cooks the rice excellently. Just follow the strage to me, instructions - lol

I cannot say for sure. However, I do not believe it could be sold in the US (and particularly CA) if it were not lead free.

Im on the search for a lead free slow cooker. I called the company and they claim the ceramic pot, and enamel/glaze on the pot are lead free. Ive also read blogs and comments of other women calling and getting the same answer, and even doing their own lead test at home, that showed negative results for lead.

Yes it's lead free. You can not find any trace of lead in this pot, because you're not cooking in the outter layer of the pot. There's an inside pot that drop inside of it and it's 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.

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.

lead free? probably. Getting a supply of glaze with lead would probably be difficult. If it were some weird, uncommon color, I might be more skeptical. Made in America? doubtful. Anyway, I didn't know this until recently but some of the kiln factories in china are hundreds of years old and quite famous. If your cup has no mention of a kiln, it's not from one of the highly regarded kiln factories. price is indicative.

The ceramic bowl is NOT coated with a non-stick coating, like teflon or silverstone, but rather the glaze that ALL crocks and ceramic has on its surface and which keeps food, liquids or cleaning solutions from leaching into the bowl itself. The customer service rep was confirming it is not a lead-containing glaze. Have you seen the actual product? 'Not sure why you think there would be an issue, but maybe you could be more specific.

I sent your question in to Le Creuset. See answer below.Hello Kassandra, You are welcome. Be advised that the glaze on the stoneware is lead and cadmium free. Regards, Mernice Savage Consumer Relations Dept. -----Original Message----- To: Consumer Web Services Subject: Crockery Hello, I wondered if your pottery is lead and cadmium free? I am a loyal buyer and love all my pieces of Le Creuset. A friend asked. Thanks, Kassandra

Never thought about that. The faucet ships from (and is probably made in) China. My guess would be it does not meet lead-free code. Unless, of course, the US requires it for imports.

Yes, but be careful about using ceramic crock pots. Some leech small amounts of lead into your food. Stainless crock pots are safer.

I was surprised by your question and looked all over my double boiler for the "made in China" mark, but don't see it anywhere. I also googled it (as I'm sure you did as well) and can't find anything about lead content. So "no", I have no idea if it contains lead. If you find out, would appreciate you posting the answer.
