Rcky...see my comment just below.
You're OK drinking from your Waterford – just not storing beverages in decanters for long periods (several hours or more).

ArGee. I heard about this a few years ago and I was pretty bummed
since I have a cabinet full of Waterford lead crystal. Now they stay in the cabinet and I drink wine in some pretty but cheap and safe wine goblets. Good post!

Remember, the key is...
Don't store beverages in leaded crystal for any length of time. There is no problem filling a glass, and then sipping it over an hour.

Good article.
I had heard vague things about that but did not realize just how bad the numbers were. However, due to a lack of expensive crystal here, we are pretty safe. But I think I will make sure my family knows too...
