Lead in china?

We had our china tested three years ago with a wonderful lead testing specialist in Georgia from ExposingLead.com and found horrifying amounts of lead in almost all of our china! Our Christmas Spode (with the tree and presents in the center) was the highest at 100,000ppm! That's 10% lead! I have friends that still use this china, although I did share this information with them three years ago. This article shows that it does leech lead into food. Even the plain white ones (our Ralph Lauren everyday from our wedding had over 45,000ppm) are not necessarily safe and can contain lead too! We bought ours from Costco, by Emeril, and it tested just fine. Here is the link, sent to me by Exposing Lead: http://www.wthr.com/story/12465018/13-investigates-lead-in-your-dishes?redirected=true. All of our baking dishes (casseroles, pie plates, etc) from Williams Sonoma ALL contained lead, arsenic, and even some contained mercury! Le Creuset stove pots were all fine, but the baking dishes, casseroles, pie plates, etc contained heavy metals. Find someone who can do the testing correctly! Your health is too important!
