DO NOT use abrasive materials, files, or other hard objects against the PVD coated stainless steel surface. DO NOT use bleach, caustic, or acid-based cleaning materials or detergents containing chloride, or any other strong household cleaning products. DO NOT use oily rags or greasy cloths when wiping the product surface. Rubbing or wiping should be carried out in the direction of the polish lines, not across them.

Do lift and carry glass items by the bottoms or sides.

Do not carry mulitple glasses at the same time by the rims.

Glassware

All Libbey glass cookware products contain small amounts of added elements or compounds of Selenium and Cobalt. These are required additives, only a few parts per million, to ensure Libbey glass products maintain consistent color and clarity. As glass ingredients are melted together, they create a new material that does not separate into the original ingredients. Libbey has conducted leach tests on its glassware products and find no measurable amounts of either element migrating from the glassware.

Metals

Libbey is proud to procure products to support kitchen and dining room needs, including serve ware and tabletop items. Some metal items may be considered cookware under the strictest interpretation of the law and therefore are included in this disclosure.
