  But how come they only stopped in 2005

  Probably ran out of their stock of lead around that time

    My aunt always drops off the fucking best, most fattening, rich meals ( “church food” ) and it is always on a plate or bowl from that company that her family has had since at least the 80’s. I will not stop eating from those dishes, I don’t even care , it’s worth it.

      Properly fired it’s pretty tough to get any meaningful amount of lead out of a glaze on ceramics.

      I’d bet they did it because of pressure from customers.

  I have corelle (or corealle?) but mine are all white and don’t have the decorative print. Does that mean mine are safe from lead?

    The lead helps to create a super white white.

    I believe it was just the one (or maybe two?) specific design… I have one from circa 2004-2005 with a different pattern, and I remember looking into this a few years back and finding out that mine was probably ok.
