Justin and I saw this on a box as we were opening wedding gifts that were shipped to us. I love our new fiesta dinnerware, but now I'm skeptical about its lead content...
If it's reassuring at all, the new Fiestaware really is lead-free. The OLD ones, like the kind you'd find in a flea market, did have lead in the glaze.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Uh oh, Lauren. Given the quotation marks, which ones do you suppose they have?
Maybe the quotes were put there by Fiesta employees who'd eaten off the lead-glazed dishes.
Maybe they're using uranium again instead.
