Dinnerware That Will Give You That Healthy Glow
Many times in the past we have seen products come out on the market that where thought to be safe only to later be revealed as extremely dangerous. Products such as DDT, Lawn Darts, and the Aqua Assault RoboFighters. Well it is my duty to inform you of another threat that could be in your house right now as you read this. Your grandparents Antiqueing trips are more dangerous that you realize and that danger is Fiestaware.
Oh but you say "It looks so pretty." Well so do exploding teddy bears. How do you think they get those nice vibrant, orange, red and yellow colours well the answer is Uranium oxide in the Glaze. Yes it is true during the from 1930 to 1970 uranium was a component of many pieces of glassware and pottery, it gives a nice colour. There was a short time in the early 40's where they stopped using uranium due to war time restrictions. Information on how you can protect yourself can be found here and There. But for now stick to using your nice safe Leaded Glass.

Oh, thanks, Shawn. You blew my world domination plan! I won't go into the details, but it involved exploding teddy bears sprinkled with uranium. Now everyone knows. Sheesh!
