Import Alert # 52-14
Published Date: 03/18/2011
Type: DWPE
Import Alert Name:
"Detention Without Physical Examination of Silver Plated Coffee Pots"
Reason for Alert:
In February, 1995, NYK-DO was notified of a firm initiated recall of Paul Revere brand silverware coffee set. Private laboratory analysis indicated the presence of leachable lead in excess of the guidelines in CPG ***545.500.*** An average of 138 ppm lead was found in the teapot by the New York regional laboratory. Violative lead levels were found in the coffee pot unit of the set.
In April, 1995, BLT-DO analyzed a silver-plated coffee pot and an average of 229 ppm lead was detected by the Cincinnati forensic laboratory. It was later determined that the product tested by BLT-DO and the product under recall in NYK-DO were manufactured by the same firm.
