US FDA: Lead in Cookware
On December 12, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to businesses that distribute and sell imported cookware that some products can leach lead into food. The cookware is made from various metals including brass, aluminum, and aluminum alloys known as Hindalium/Hindolium or Indalium/Indoluim.
The Public Health Department of Seattle and King County tested the products and notified the FDA of the findings and the association between using the cookware and high blood levels in resettled refugee populations.
If consumers believe that they have eaten food cooked using these products of have symptoms of lead exposure, they should contact their health provider.
