>They were a staple in most american homes for a very long time, yet there were never any hysterics about everyone testing positive for lead.

Believe it or not most people weren't even particularly concerned when the dangers of leaded gasoline were revealed.

I wouldn't defer to the average citizen for tips on risk aversion, because the average citizen is an uneducated bufoon, especially back in the 70s when they were making this stuff

>Maybe because whatever lead that could be leeched from it is neglible at best and nothing to worry about?

Maybe. But I'm also just not interested in being the test case for delayed onset poisoning from lead paint to save $50 on a Crockpot

All you had to say was "No. I do not have a credible source"

You're looking for a source that some of these Crockpots have lead paint glaze?

Because I'm fairly certain you can even look up your serial number to find out

I'm not looking. I have looked. Im challenging everyone to prove all the rumors they are parroting is true. Thus far no one has been able to do so. One person found this proving me right though. But consumers need not fret in the dark. The FDA maintains a list of products it has tested that have revealed lead contamination. The good news: Not a single crockpot is listed.
