Beautiful Corelle dish set i got at a garage sale for $4.65! Only to find out they contain lead 😭
I just thrifted a set also. I did a little research into this, and it seems all stories of lead are stemming from one source. Corning & corelle say these are safe. Also, you can test for lead at home pretty inexpensively. I'm gonna use mine, cuz I ain't skeered 😁 More on reddit.com

Followup on potential lead contamination in vintage corelle dishes

Five months ago, I said I’d follow up in six months (got a little eager) with a blood test for lead exposure since the post created quite the stir. Completely justifiably so — and my opinion is that you can never completely eliminate the risk. But life is about how much risk you’re willing to accept. The only conclusive lead test I’d seen with these was optical, meaning that lead would be detected even through layers of solid glass. I did my own tests with the lead swabs, and they turned up nothing. I know those have problems with being very inconsistent, but I tried many times in many ways.

I eat off of these dishes at least daily, and they’re always washed in the dishwasher. I have a set of the small bowls that I use occasionally, too. I microwave them and eat a wide variety of food off of them.

My lead levels are very low, and that’s even combined with regular exposure to lead solder with stained glass work. For those who don’t want to click, the results were 2 mcg/dL, and typical/background exposure is up to 5 mcg/dL.

Keep in mind, this is a sample size of one. This does not mean all vintage Corelle is safe (especially if beat up and/or chipped), and is purely an anecdote from an internet guy that you have no reason to trust. Your mileage may vary, and this was posted mostly for those curious.
