just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you’re using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.

(check the FAQ for the question about lead)
Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.
Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up
There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.
Are Corelle® products lead-free?
… Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.
… Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.

There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link. Ill point you towards this one because its closer to what I stated and remembered happening I almost wonder if corell has changed their FAQ because i remember it being more specific at one point in time.
Thanks. I actually hadn’t found that faq. There’s another one about multiple toxic metals, but might not be for Corelle
