Question: is the lead in crystal wine glasses safe

Answer: Yes, The California Department of Public Health lead advisory states, ``children should never eat or drink out of leaded crystalware''. Leaded crystal wineglasses and decanters are generally not considered to pose a significant health risk, provided that these items are washed thoroughly before use, that beverages are not stored in these containers for more than a few hours, and provided that they are not used by children.
