Is there a risk that Chinese made CLEAR drinking glasses may contain toxic elements in the glass itself?
I figured this was the category with the most environmentally aware people. I bought a clear glass french press today and was disappointed to find out it was made (as is almost everything) in China. I was considering taking it back to the store and buying a European made Bodum press.
Is clear glass from China a potential toxic danger? I know the painted glasses had cadmium and lead in them, but I am asking about clear plain glass. I figure god only knows what the Chinese throw into the glass making furnace.
Thanks,
Brighty
I would, of course, verify that the Bodum IS not made in China. I am guessing for the extra price one pays for a Bodum means it is produced elsewhere, but hard to tell unless one inspects the box. Thanks for your answer!
what about other toxins?
Thanks,
Lead leaching from leaded glass occurs most with acidic and warm liquids.
I know my coffee is a bit acidic and very hot.
If you are in doubt of your safety. return it for your own piece of mind.
You may pay a little more for a Bodum but at least you can drink from it without wondering if you are getting poisoned.
Edit:
Bodum is known for using borosilicate glass which is known to be very durable when exposed to thermal shock or high heat conditions such as encountered in kitchen ovens and microwaves.
[Wikipedia reference]
The 2nd link is a bit of history on the Bordum company. It states that they have 3 production companies in Switzerland. It also states that they operate in 14 countries. The 3rd link also includes a production company in Portugal,
So the chances are good that it is not made in China, but check before you buy.
