What is this? Some glasses from China may have unsafe levels of lead and cadmium. These are metals that can leak into food or drinks.

What's happening? Poland found that these glasses can release too much lead and cadmium. This makes them unsafe to use.

Does this affect me? If you have glasses from China, they might be unsafe. Check where your glasses are from.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you used them with food or drinks.
