U.S. people, if you bought cinnamon from Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or other discount stores, throw it out. It's got lead
Ground cinnamon sold in U.S. discount stores is contaminated with high levels of lead and should be discarded. The U.S.
RFK Jr's FDA removed its page warning against fake autism cures like industrial bleach and chelation therapy.
At his Senate confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the Trump administration's search for COVID treatments during the first term, which he said included "even chlorine dioxide." Chlorine dioxide is industrial bleach. The FDA has warned since 2010 that the substance, marketed under the friendly name "Miracle Mineral Solution," "causes serious and potentially life-threatening side effects." Some parents have been convinced to feed it to their autistic children.
Now the FDA page that warned families away from chlorine dioxide and other bogus autism treatments has vanished. The agency took down the consumer safety page in late 2025, and HHS told ProPublica it was just "routine clean up of dated content," noting it hadn't been updated since 2019. The page also warned against chelation therapy and hyperbaric oxygen chambers — treatments that have killed children. A five-year-old in Pennsylvania died after chelation in 2005, and another five-year-old in Michigan died in a hyperbaric chamber fire in 2025.

"What’s New
December 3, 2025
Two additional cookware products that may leach lead into food when used for cooking or food storage have been added to the table [at the link].
The complete list of products can be found in the table [at the link] Other cookware products may also be affected. FDA will continue to update this table with additional products as new information becomes available.
What’s the Problem?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning retailers and consumers not to sell or use certain imported cookware that may leach significant levels of lead (Pb) into food. Some types of imported cookware products made from aluminum, brass, and aluminum alloys known as Hindalium/Hindolium or Indalium/Indolium have been tested by FDA and state partners, and have demonstrated the potential to leach lead under conditions designed to mimic their use in contact with food. Young children, women of child-bearing age, and those who are breastfeeding may be at higher risk for potential adverse events after eating food cooked using these products.
Recommendation
Consumers should check their homes for the products listed below and throw away any cookware that may be able to leach lead into food when used for cooking or food storage.
Do not donate or refurbish this cookware.
Consumers who have concerns about lead exposure or elevated levels of lead should contact their health care provider.
Retailers and distributors are responsible for ensuring cookware sold and/or distributed for use in contact with food are safe for their intended use and comply with all FDA regulations.
Various testing methods for leachable lead are available, or retailers/distributors may use FDA’s lead leach testing protocol for cookware.
Retailers and distributors of cookware are encouraged to consult with the FDA regarding the safety and regulatory status of any products used in contact with food that they market or distribute.
Questions for FDA related to this topic can be sent to [email protected].
Tested Products
The product(s) listed [at the link] are cookware tested by FDA. FDA’s analysis demonstrates that such products may leach lead into food. Potentially affected products are not limited to this list. Additional products will be added to this alert as needed.
Health Concerns from Lead Exposure
Lead is toxic to humans and can affect people of any age or health status, and there is no known safe level of exposure to lead. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in children and fetuses. Consuming food with elevated lead levels can contribute to elevated levels of lead in the blood. Children and babies are more susceptible to lead toxicity due to their smaller body size, metabolism, and rapid growth. At low levels, children may not have obvious symptoms but can still experience trouble learning, low IQ, and behavior changes. At higher levels of lead exposure, people may experience fatigue, headache, stomach pain, vomiting, or neurologic changes.
Summary and Scope of the Problem
There are no FDA regulations that authorize lead for use as a color additive or food additive (including as a component of foodware, cookware, or food contact surfaces). In order to protect public health, FDA monitors levels of lead in foods and leachable lead levels in cookware. The FDA collaborates with state and federal partners, industry, and other stakeholders to identify and facilitate the implementation of sustainable and effective strategies for growing, sourcing, processing, and manufacturing foods to support lowering levels of environmental contaminants, such as lead, while maintaining their nutritional quality and accessibility.
Actions
FDA is actively working to remove cookware from the market that may leach lead into food when used for cooking. FDA’s surveillance is ongoing. Additional products will be added to this alert as needed."
