<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 254413, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I eat off old RED Fiesta several times a week. The yelling and warning about lead poisoning is getting mighty old in this old man. I have been stripping old lead paint from houses for years. I do not use a mask and never have. I had lead testing done every couple of years. My lead levels are so low it is not a problem. I have been "told" that eggs will kill you. A couple of years later I am told eggs are good for you. Then a few years later eggs will kill you. The same with everything else. I would not store liquor in glass decanters since I rarely drink anymore. First it was radioactivity with Fiesta, then it was lead and goodness knows what it will be tomorrow. If you read between the lines of all of these "reports" you will find the words may, perhaps and might cause problems.
