Overview
- The updated advisory adds cookware sold under Tiger White, Silver Horse, and JK Vallabhdas after FDA tests found unsafe lead leaching.
- Flagged items include aluminum kadai/karahi woks and Silver Horse milk or mathar pans, with some products labeled as Hindalium or Indalium alloys.
- Products were identified at U.S. retailers including Mannan Supermarket in Jamaica, New York, Patel Brothers in Schaumburg, Illinois, and INDIACO in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
- Consumers are urged to stop using and safely discard the items and to avoid donating or repurposing them, while retailers are told to pull affected stock and verify inventories using FDA lead‑leach testing protocols.
- The FDA stresses there is no known safe level of lead exposure, with heightened risk for children and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and notes that the list could grow as sampling continues.
