FDA Alerts on 19 Cookware Products That May Contain Lead

The FDA has issued a warning regarding 19 types of cookware, primarily made from aluminum and brass, that may leach lead into food, increasing health risks. Consumers are advised to check their homes for these products, which were mostly manufactured in India, and to discard them rather than donate or refurbish. This alert expands on a previous warning from August, adding nine new items to the list. Lead exposure can cause serious health issues, particularly in children and women of childbearing age.
