Does Lenox Dinnerware contain Lead?

Lenox is a huge dinnerware, bone china, and tableware company that has been around for well over one hundred years. If you’ve ever been in the market for china or dinnerware, or if you’ve ever made (or seen!) a wedding registry, chances are you’ve come across the Lenox brand. If the presence of lead in your dinnerware is something you’re concerned about, you might be wondering if Lenox products contain lead. This is what Lenox itself says on the matter:

Lenox has been a leader in the tableware industry for over 120 years and our manufacturing process is dependable and trustworthy.  Our products are government tested annually and we assure you that our products test far below the stringent lead limits set by the Federal Food and Drug Administration and Tableware Safety Program standards.  We want to assure you that the safety of our customers is very important to us.  We value your patronage and hope that you will continue to support the Lenox product line.”

Therefore, Lenox products do contain lead, but at a level of lead that is considered safe by the FDA. However, if you’re looking for a looking for a dinnerware company that is lead-FREE, then you will need to look elsewhere.

Make sure you get the lead-free option if you buy online, and use PriceLasso to get the best price, whether it’s at Amazon, Walmart, or elsewhere.

  • I thought Lenox did have some patterns that are lead free such as Chirp. Please list the patterns that ARE lead free

    • Do you have information on a Tupperware set called Sonata? This set may be 40 years old. Our grand daughter is living with us so I am interested in lead conten

  • I am looking at the French Perle pattern.
    I would like to know the amount of lead in this pattern.
    Does heating in the microwave cause more lead to be released?
    How chip resistant is this pattern?
    Does the color white change with use of berries or cinnamon?

    Thank you,
    Teresa

    • I have c complete set of lexington lenox china white with silver band around rim I got for my wedding in 1960 and I am wondering if there is lead in it?

  • How do i determine if the lead level in inherited 65-year-old Lennox Ivory Wheat pattern is safe?

    • They say it's safe but that is only newer made Lennox china. That from the 50s, 60s & 70s, especially the have lead levels over 100x the EPA max amount. And most should never be used by children.

  • I contacted Lenox about my country cottage courtyard china stone pattern that I received for my wedding in 1991 and my husband's godmother's china stone patter that she purchased before then after I found out that there was a class action lawsuit against Lenox for lead in their china stone, which Lenox lost. Their reply was that yes, there is lead but it falls withing EPA guidelines. I've chosen not to use them.
