My opinion is that we should sue them. I purchased a well-known piece of cookware and it has lead in it. I talked with the salesman on the phone and he stated that all of their products were now made in another country and they had no control over the lead in the Slow-Cookers.

The problem was that a supplier thought they had to put warnings on all items to be in compliance with California's Prop 65 rules and regulations. They just misunderstood the California requirements... Savs,

You can sleep better now… the Texsport mug you bought is not a health hazard. The problem was that a supplier thought they had to put warnings on all items to be in compliance with California’s Prop 65 rules and regulations. They just misunderstood the California requirements…

Double-wall construction provides insulation 14 oz. capacity Will not burn lips or hands Lightweight and durable." With a tiny white warning label with red helvetica fonts on white back ground about a quarter of an inch square on the bottom of the cup which stated "Warning this product has lead in it and may cause birth defects and brain damage along with other unknown hazards." It was made in China or rather dipped in a dungeon vat of lead in China. The seller was Dicks Sports Goods located at 630 Old Country Road, Garden City, New York 11530 in Nassau county, Long Island and I spoke to a very dismissive "Apparel manager"; Mrs. Laura Cestra who ignorantly and stupidly trying to be the store lead expert who had no idea that I had a more extensive knowledge in metallurgy and never even heard the word before . They wouldn't let me talk to the main manager of the store Mr. Dennis Murray. The one I had spoken to Mrs. Laura Cestra who I said I would have the cup to be tested and may take legal action said its not her companies problem its TEXSPORT's problem they just happen to make money selling the lead laced camping cookware. And as long as no one says anything they don't care and won't pull anything off the shelves till there's a problem with the government and not the public's welfare. Anyway I just don't have the money to sue DICK'S and TEXSPORT for the shirts on they're backs for selling this poison to the public out right. I encourage anyone out there just to go into one of they're stores and buy any cookware from the manufacturer TEXSPORT and test it and then sue them till they're broke because lord knows I would love to. They are selling poison to all of us and don't give a dam. Money, money, money whores...Take care I purchase a Chinese made stainless steel camping coffee cup made by TEXSPORT Item # 13401, Description: “Insulated Stainless Steel Mug, 14 oz.

Doesn't seem horrible. Thanks for doing the home work on lead cookware. So far we have trown out all our cups and dinnerware after seeing "made in china" on the bottom. Repalced with lead-free ceramics. Le Crucet and Staub cookware are lead-free, but I have Calphalon enamel, can't get an answer on it, so I will test it. Ordering LeadCheck test kit today! p.s. Your goats in coats are so cute! I have high lead/mercury, doing oral chelation with DMPS/DMSA + IV Vit C, also a chelator. Doesn’t seem horrible.
