Be careful when using Corelle with your kids. Break resistant does not mean non-breakable.

I was just google-ing Corelle kids patterns. I get so worried using plastic plates with my kids that I plan to start using Corelle since it is so break resistant and safe. I grew up using them. I could see Curious George, Thomas, etc. It is surely an uptapped market. I will see if I can write in to the company. I so agree! I was just google-ing Corelle kids patterns.

If I handled Corelle's marketing, I'd offer a full line of kids Corelle patterns. Such a huge market they're missing out on! I agree completely.

Corelle laminate glass is, in fact, lead free, and we specify our stoneware products to be made using lead free materials as well. Please note that to satisfy requirements concerning consumer warnings on packaging at time of sale and/or advertisement in the state of California (so-called California Proposition 65), only traces of heavy metals (including lead) are permitted. The current limit for presence of leachable lead in order to satisfy California requirements is no more than 0.100 ppm (1 tenth of one part per million) when obtained under test conditions. At no time have our results exceeded those which are permissible under the guidelines mentioned above (which are believed to be the most stringent in the world). Also note that tests for the presence of heavy metals are conducted for World Kitchen by internationally certified, third-party laboratories under strict conditions, by trained technicians, and using atomic absorption spectrophotometry analysis following carefully monitored preparation. These steps are necessary to minimize any possibility of contamination or false reading during preparation, testing or analysis.

I sent an e-mail to Corelle this morning asking if there is lead in this product, and as soon as I hear back, I will post their response. Thank you for your comment.
