Wisconsin warns of lead in antique dishes at rummage sales

Original: Wisconsin health officials warn of lead risk in antique dishes at rummage sales

Wisconsin health officials are warning residents about the risk of lead exposure from antique dishes and glassware commonly sold at rummage sales, garage sales and antique shops. Older tableware, especially pieces made before regulations on lead in ceramics, can leach lead into food and drink. Officials advise caution when buying or using vintage dishware.

Why now: Antique dishware is widely sold at seasonal rummage sales, prompting officials to alert shoppers to the health hazard.
