Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "IKM Metal Cookware Is Lead Contaminated These significant levels of lead can leach into food and cause serious health risks, especially to children and unborn babies. Lead exposure has no known safe level, is neurotoxic, and can result in learning problems, reduced IQ, behavior changes, and, at higher levels, fatigue, headache, stomach pain, vomiting, and neurological effects. The recall includes A-cook Aluminum Kadai size 5, Brass Tope, IKM 4-quart Pital brass pot, and IKM aluminum saucepan with a wooden handle. A total of 118 cookware items were sold across the US, specifically in California. Sales occurred principally in the cities of Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Fremont, Hayward, Pittsburg, Milpitas, Tracy, Manteca, Dublin, El Cerrito, Richmond, Hercules, San Jose, Fresno, Pleasanton, Roseville, and Sacramento.
