It's so scary, I feel my grandkids have toys with lead paint on them, and thier cups and bowls, so maddening! Thank you for caring enough to put this out there, xoxoxo
Hello friend, thanks for letting us know about this. I have not purchased any of Pioneer woman’s products but I know lots of people have. I’ll bet your spaghetti sauce does make the house smell amazing. Happy new year!
My daughter gave me several Pioneer Woman bowls for Christmas. They are not the ones you have shown - HOWEVER I will be cognizant of your information!!
This makes me sick to my stomach. I use Pioneer Woman's dishes daily and give them as gifts also. I have way too much of her dinnerware to ask for refunds but being aware of the potential hazards of using them and also the people I have sent Ree Drummond's dishes to many people as gifts and thisjust aggravates the devil out of me. Yes she is a millionaire and to think her products are so unsafe. Everyone should be told of this and she should pay dearly for using faulty dishes.. OF ALL THINGS DISHES TO BE UNSAFE TO USE!!!!!!! BOO HISS PIONEER WOMAN, Ban her and her products!!!!
Thank you for calling attention to this hazard. I debated buying some of these but will definitely keep walking past the display after watching your “heads up” Thank you. Happy new year!
I have been looking at this brand and think it is so pretty and have considered buying some for myself. I really appreciate the information, thank you. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the info, Ms Vickie. I will think twice before purchasing any of these dishes. It is a shame, they are so pretty. There are kits you can buy to test your dishware for lead levels. I haven't used them myself but wanted to let you and fellow subscribers know. Thanks again.
I have hundreds of Pioneer Woman dishes and every appliance she has out. I also did my research and 99% of all dishes have equally as high lead content as Pioneer Woman. Older dishes/china is often double the amount. Corelle and Pyrex often rate higher lead content as well.
Ms. Vickie, thank you for sharing this information. It's a shame that when someone endorses a product, puts their name on a product, that they don't do their research on who is making it, and whether it can make someone ill. I'd say, shame on the Pioneer Woman..... Enjoy the New Year! Catherine
I’m so disappointed because I recently bought so much of her dishes. Do you know if she will give us our money back? If not I guess if I put wax paper on it to eat off of then I can make do
I have that bowl!!! And other pieces!😳. Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to dig a little deeper. Thank you for the links to the articles too. Blessings!
Oh gosh I have several of these bowls I’m scared now,,,,I don’t even want to give them to anyone ,maybe I’ll put them under a small flower pot and decorate the porch table this summer with them 🤔
All of her colorful dishware/kitchenware items are gorgeous and tempting, but I've resisted buying them and I knew immediately what you were about to tell us about them...because I know that those intensely colored glazes usually contain a lot of lead. It's such a shame. :-( As you said, tho', they can be used with caution...all that you've suggested, of course...but also: do not put any acidic foods into them for that will leach the lead, too. :-\ Thank you, Vickie, for the heads-up on a very important issue. Happy New Year!! :-D
Absolutely! I realized after I finished the video (one quick take) that I hadn’t mentioned acidic foods, but I have been chatting with Mrs. Lori from Whippoorwill Holler, and I did mention that to her. Thank you for reminding me! I will add a note in the description!
Omg, I just threw out all my corelle due to lead concerns and I *almost* bought a set of Pioneer Woman dishes to replace them! SO glad I didn't! However now I'm worried about the Clay Art dishes I did buy as replacements. Lord!! What dishes can you trust now?
Thank you Vickie! I've been concerned for years about dishware coming from other countries. Some of my coffee mugs have worn and look to be close to leeching. I hate to get rid of them but I am. The Pioneer Woman items are so popular. I saw that spaghetti sauce video. Sounds like it would have a deep rich flavor. I haven't canned anything that takes that much time to prepare but think it's smart to make a lot of it! I put up pinto beans after I did the chicken. Now I have black beans waiting for me. The Farmer's market had ground chuck this time on sale, nothing worth buying 20 pounds of, so I ended up doing some freezer meals. I'm pleased with the glass containers from Amazon. They go in the freezer, microwave, oven and dishwasher. I'm doubling up on servings for our meals and I'm freezing the left overs. Years ago , when the kids were home I did twice a month cooking. I saved money and time. I'm looking to get back to it and invest more into my pantry.
I love pressure canning! There are so many ways to make shelf stable meals, and meals your family will love. I recently made some puréed soups for a veteran friend having surgery on his jaw. I made something that he was able to eat, but he also greatly enjoyed. He was so appreciative to have something that tasted good!
Lordy mercy. I think just about everything has something that’s bad for us in it. I’ll be 60 in a few years and I can only imagine all the chemicals and heavy metals I’ve been exposed to in my life. I’m sure it’s a large part of the reason so many develop cancer these days. If we really knew what was in all of the things around our homes we’d have to throw away 80% of the stuff. It’s nuts.
I believe you are right. I used to think (many years ago) that the government was looking out for us. They told us they were, right? Well, now I know better. It is a constant learning experience. I spend a lot of time reading articles to educate myself on dangers I shouldn’t have to think about! And yes, I believe these unknown risks have a lot to do with the prevalence of cancer.
Vickie's Country Home my Mom, her Mother and one of my Moms sister’s all three had cancer. My Mom survived but both my Grandmother and my Mom’s sister and another aunt passed away from their cancers. You’re right we shouldn’t have to worry about if something is safe for us that’s produced for public consumption but unfortunately I think it’s all about the money to these companies and the people in the government who are supposed to look out for our safety.
Vickie, I apologize for neglecting to thank you for sharing the important information on the dishes. I was so miffed that I let my passion get in the way of my manners. I also really appreciated all of the research you did to give us the details. I did share this video & I'll share it again to try & reach more people. We all love the pretties. 💞👵
Hi Vickie, I am so behind on videos but I’ve been enjoying catching up on watching yours this New Year’s Eve day! I’ll bet your kitchen smells amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this information about the dishes. They are so pretty… But that is really scary to learn about the lead. I don’t have any and I don’t think I would buy any in the future. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I want to wish you a very happy, healthy, and blessed new year! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Hi Mary, Most of my dishes are white, so I thought I would get a few pieces for videos, but then I read this! Live and learn. I hope your Christmas and New Years were wonderful! Love you!
I appreciate you sharing this info!! It is so important to be aware of these issues to keep ourselves and our families healthy. Wishing you and your family all the best in the New Year!!
Vicki, we all can worry ourselves to death about something becoming a potentially dangerous thing in our life........car? furnace ? after this morning's church shooting in Texas - possible fellow church member? And so on. If you think this is a serious issue for you; try to return them to the big box store. Most large companies will take products back that pose a potential health risk. Otherwise just throw them away. From the sound of things you'd beg happier without the dishes you paid for dispute the possible loss of money. After mentioning they came from a big box store, I doubt we're talking a significant amount of money, like a department store purchase.
Why on earth are you assuming that I am worrying myself to death? I shared information that isn’t readily visible to the purchaser of the product. If you bothered to listen to the entire video you would know what my plans are for this.
Thank you for the update. This particular problem, from all I've discovered, is prevalent in so many items, including glass and cast iron. Many people don't realize that some glass bake wear has leaching problems, particularly when heated. It's hard to know just what to do. Happy New Year to you, Vickie.
Oh my goodness! I just purhased the two casserole dishes from Walmart before Christmas. I wonder if she knows these beautiful bowls and dishes are toxic?
I haven’t heard anything, but I would want to know details of anything with my name on it. I know a lot of other dishes also have this problem, but these have become so popular and mainstream that I wanted to speak out and let people decide for themselves. It truly is buyer beware!
Thank you Vickie, for bringing this to our attention! I have always thought that the Pioneer Woman's dishes were pretty but for some reason I just never felt the need to spend good money on them..glad that I didnt! Take care. Have a Happy New Year and God bless!
Thank you for sharing this information. I have 4 of those cute little dipping bowls, and have always been a fan of hers, until now. Thank you for the research links too. Pretty scary! As far as trusting the government? Here's a link to some information on the Flint water crisis. www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/20/465545378/lead-laced-water-in-flint-a-step-by-step-look-at-the-makings-of-a-crisis , so, no, I surely don't trust government. This was a horrific time for many of my fellow Michiganders. Disgraceful to say the least. On a lighter note, I love your channel and got it from Whippoorwill Holler, who I also love to watch.
Thank you so much for this information. I have a whole set of these dishes as well as some side plates and bowls. I probably wouldn't have bought these if I would have seen this video before I purchased them. I'm sure that you have helped a lot of people form intelligent purchases since seeing this video. Again, thank you.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information Mis Vicki, I am always checking the contentment’s, paints etc of wares that I buy. I have been so tempted to buy PW Bowles, enamalwear etc, as they are also beautifully prepared and presented. Thank you for always looking out for us.
Thanks for sharing. Our dishware is a mismatch of different ones we were given. Our first set was on my brother's ex picked but his current wife didn't like so it was given to us. All of the bowls except for one broke. Dad cleaned out his outdoor storage building to turn into in the workshop awhile back. He was getting rid of all of the items in it and let us have first pick. We got a few bowls and plates. My favorite ones were made in Japan but my most favorite is a retired design. I trust Debra Lynn Dadd's toxin free list of safe products. She has multiple chemical sensitivities and I have some myself so I trust her recommendations. I also love the Still Made in the USA list. Just have to read those descriptions. Lee also bought some cheap silverware since a lot of ours went missing. Household items are lower on the priority list as we're planning on moving to our own property so I'm waiting until then to get those type of items since it will just be more things to pack and move. No matter how careful I am something will always break.
Wow, good words of warning. I have mostly plain white dishware and bakeware for daily use going on 40 years. It is combinations of Corning, Laughlin, and assorted bone china. We have salads on clear glass plates. You got me thinking I should check for lead on all of the dishes. Our pastel Fiestaware set, McCoy collection, and Roseville pieces are display items, and mainly just seasonal use. I better check those, also.
As talented as she is..I for the life cannot understand why her stuff has not been made in Oklahoma...she has really marketed the way of life...for food art lifestyle and regenerated the downtown with the store and restaurant but...I have NOT bought those beautiful dishes or anything from her store because its all foreign made. Except for books, they are made here. I want to see a made in Oklahoma label...we have the empty buildings the workforce. America needs to make stuff better again.
I agree, I really wish we would stop sending things overseas, especially China. I am really hoping that this current crisis opens the eyes of this country.
Hi Vickie, these bowls are so so pretty but it's so sad plus maddening that they're made in china thus creating this lead scare! Like another subscriber of yours said, Pioneer Woman is a millionaire from her kitchenware, you'd think she'd take more pride where it's made, not just worry about the money made!! It's exactly the same here down under, we don't even make our own souvenirs!!? ...yep china again! how embarrassing!! Good for you for highlighting this lead scare....i think i'd of returned mine just as a stance against the china made thing! oh and health aspects too! xxx
What upsets me the most, is that “well, they all do it”. Yes, there are others with the same problems, but that doesn’t make it right. It really can be hard to find locally made products. But, when you buy from someone locally, they are much more accountable.
Oh my goodness. My daughter has quite a few pieces of Pioneer Woman's dishware. Ty for sharing. I will have to let her know about the lead. Love, hugs, and prayers
We have several and the first thing I thought about was lead but just assumed that Pioneer Woman was a name I could trust even after using the bowl for years and having chips. I should have known better. I know that you can buy lots of things made in other countries that have lead in the finish. Ceramics not fired under extreme heat can leach out lead when used with acidic foods and I never use them for hot dishes. I know that any shiny paper that is used to keep grease from going through is widely used in fast food and has very dangerous chemicals that leak out with heat - like paper plates, french fries, etc. We have grown up thinking that the government will keep us safe but we are our own best safety patrol!
Mary w, no likes on your statement is heartbreaking! & very scary that people are so closed minded, even with so very much coming to light. It is not only the products from countries, other than the USA, & many of these companies use their manufacturing plants in countries, like China in order to get around a bit "stricter"(? think wide spread bribery) oversight, like cosmetic companies, who "say" they don't horribly torture animals! Look into popular, brands around for many, many years . . . . . Yes, I do know because I research beyond articles. First trying to authenticate them & then, also, trying to disprove them. Both methods are important . . . . . & time consuming. Please, listen to those of us who either do this research or are credible sources, who pass it along. Keyboard Warriors are the Whistleblowers of the internet.
According to the Lead Safe Mama site, Corelle white ware is safe. But these are the new items not vintage corelle. She recommends Corelle Bella Faenza or another child safety blogger recommended Corelle Winter Frost. You can find these on Amazon, Target etc.
It's so scary, I feel my grandkids have toys with lead paint on them, and thier cups and bowls, so maddening!
Thank you for caring enough to put this out there, xoxoxo

Why was this not made public if this is true about the pioneer woman
I got rid of all my Pioneer Women dishes. Gone
I have hundreds of Pioneer Woman dishes and every appliance she has out. I also did my research and 99% of all dishes have equally as high lead content as Pioneer Woman. Older dishes/china is often double the amount. Corelle and Pyrex often rate higher lead content as well.
This just makes me want to buy the plastic ones she has or glass
Ms. Vickie, thank you for sharing this information. It's a shame that when someone endorses a product, puts their name on a product, that they don't do their research on who is making it, and whether it can make someone ill. I'd say, shame on the Pioneer Woman..... Enjoy the New Year! Catherine
That is why I used paper plate🤣
I’m so disappointed because I recently bought so much of her dishes. Do you know if she will give us our money back? If not I guess if I put wax paper on it to eat off of then I can make do
I don’t think it is likely, but I will just be very careful using the ones that I have.

Corelle has just admitted that it’s older pieces have lead in them and to use for decorative purposes only.
Oh lord!!!!
Where is that info?! That's what I am using, inherited 25 years ago from my in-laws. They had used them for decades before me.

That's too bad...if they were made in the USA I'm guessing it wouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the heads up.
Dishes made in China are not fired at a high enough temperature so the lead content in very high.
Thanks for the information they sure are pretty
Thank you for your information. So kind of you to be thoughtful and letting people know the dangers of using it.
Hi Vickie, these bowls are so so pretty but it's so sad plus maddening that they're made in china thus creating this lead scare!

I think it would depend on where they were purchased, and if at the big box, who is on duty at the time.
