Question from Anna
I have a set of white fiesta ware that I bought a 23 years ago. Is it lead and mercury free?
Lisa’s Answer
Fiesta Ware has been lead-free since 1986. The term lead-free means that there is not lead added to the product. There are trace amounts of naturally occurring lead in almost all ceramics. The California Position 65, which is among the most stringent standards, requires all ceramic products to be independently lab tested to have leachable lead levels below 0.1 ppm (parts per million). Fiesta Ware releases 50 times less than that amount.
