I guess standards just were not as high back then as they are now.
I remember about 30 years ago a case of a young girl that was very sick and it turned out she had lead poisioning and they discovered that it had come from her favoritie mug.

eep. I don’t have any of these thankfully. but it doesn’t surprise me as tupperwear has a life time warranty

I have so much Tupperware as it lasts forever. Eep

Sharing this!!

very scary how about all the rest of the Tupperware we have in the pantry would like choice to test some of it

a bit scary

We don’t have this sort but it makes you wonder about a lot of products.

No thank goodness. I use lot’s of Tupperware over the years.

Wow, I remember mum having these, glad she still doesnt!!

I remember using these years ago but thankfully I no longer have them. Scary thought.

This is concerning. My mum’s friend is a Tupperware sales person and she said that Tupperware has a lifetime guarantee. I have replaced 20-year-old Tupperware lids and containers for free. I’m not sure, but I would suspect that they would replace any containers for free if these concerns were expressed.

  Hi, many of my readers have heard back from Tupperware and learned that they will not be replacing them “just because they are positive for Lead” – as a result I started a petition asking them to make a public statement: https://www.change.org/p/tupperware-corporate-tupperware-respond-re-leadsafemama-s-findings-of-lead-arsenic-in-your-vintage-products?recruiter=7021750&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition

Oh my. Thankfully I don’t have any!

Oh my goodness, this is a worry.

Just wondering did she only test her own Tupperware or a big cross section? May be they were used for measuring paint or something in the past and had traces of residue left in them? If it was only found in measuring cups this is more likely as the factory would make all Tupperware with the same plastic so it is highly unlikely they would use a different composition for making only the measuring cups. As they are old they would have had many things ensured in them over the years.

There is also arsenic in rice, I think we all just need to realize we have to keep our livers healthy so it can work on getting all this poison out of our system instead of building up in our bodies. We live in a toxic world and keeping our exposure to a minimum as much as possible is important. Use your old tupperware for anything but food. Use glass instead.

What is the official comment from Tupperware? So far I see they are being very quiet. I still have quite a bit of the vintage tupperware, but slowly decreasing as things break or split, despite supposedly having lifetime guarantee, that doesn’t work as older things can’t be replaced.

I have heaps of older Tupperware and will keep using it.

So does that mean they replace old for new due to this finding. I mean it is a lifetime guarantee after all

Have them use them will keep using them….nothing wrong with them. Nothing has been proven my mum’s used them when I was a girl and now I use them, think they are just scaring people

Oh I can’t believe this I have all my grandmothers old Tupperware and use it regularly
