LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST MARTHA STEWART

Homemaker Martha Stewart's lifestyle company is being named in a lawsuit by a Pennysylvania couple who claim the star’s line of dinnerware has given their children lead poisoning. Acting on behalf of their two children, Sandra and Raymond Dombroski filed legal papers against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in Pennysylvania earlier this week, alleging their kids, Michael and Matthew, suffered "mental, emotional and cognitive impairment" from the use of the Martha Stewart Everyday range of crockery.The Dombroskis also claim their sons developed a "learning disability", in addition to speech problems and physical impairment as a result of lead in the reportedly defective dinnerware, which was purchased from a K-Mart store in June 2001. K-Mart’s parent company, Sears Holdings Corporation, has also been named in the lawsuit.The Dombroskis are seeking compensation and damages on counts of negligence, liability and breach of warranty, according to TMZ.com.

The dinnerware was probably made in China. If you want to buy ceramic dinnerware, make sure it is made in America. American pottery makers are very careful not to ever use lead glazes. If you are not sure if your crockery is safe or has lead in it, you can do a test on it.
