   An independent XRF screen of a similar Pyrex glass-and-silicone lid found no lead in plain glass but trace lead in the logo and cadmium and antimony in the silicone. Not this set, and no maker test.

• Independent Lead Safe Mama (XRF screening; the site earns affiliate income from some product links) January 2022

  A 2021 Pyrex 2-cup glass storage lid with a silicone seal: no lead or cadmium in plain glass, 6 to 7 ppm lead in the white logo, and 20 ppm cadmium and 11 ppm antimony in the silicone. The author calls these levels safe by all standards but says she would not choose it. It is a related Pyrex lid, not this set. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Does Pyrex glass shatter?

Pyrex's own safety page (opens in a new tab) warns that ignoring its rules may make glass "break or shatter immediately or later": preheat the oven, avoid sudden temperature changes, and no stovetop, broiler, toaster oven or air fryer. Class actions say its US glass is tempered soda-lime rather than the older borosilicate: one was filed in 2018 (opens in a new tab) in federal court in Illinois, and another was filed in 2023 (opens in a new tab) in Cook County. These are claims, not findings, and we found no outcome for either case.

Is there lead or cadmium in the glass, logo or silicone?

Lead Safe Mama's screen (opens in a new tab) of a similar 2021 lid found none in the plain glass, 6 to 7 ppm lead in the painted logo, and 20 ppm cadmium and 11 ppm antimony in the silicone rim. The author says that is within standards. We found no test of this set.

Can you trust Pyrex's origin and labeling claims?

In 2023 the FTC ordered Instant Brands (opens in a new tab), which sold Pyrex in the US, to pay $129,416 over measuring cups sold as Made in USA that were made in China. That case was about measuring cups, not this set, and Pyrex does not say where this set is made.

Can you replace a broken lid?

Pyrex sells spare lids for other lines, but its lids collection (32 items on 2026-10-23) holds plastic lids and one casserole glass lid, and none for this set. A broken lid may mean a new container. One buyer on the product page asked for these lids to be sold on their own.

• Containers are "durable high-quality tempered glass", and the lids are glass with a silicone rim, described as "BPA-free silicone & glass". There is no plastic lid.
• Pyrex says the set is "dishwasher, freezer, microwave and preheated-oven safe", and its safety page spells out the limits: preheat the oven first, avoid sudden temperature changes, and do not go from freezer to a hot oven.
• It costs about $15 per container with lid, at $74.99 for the set on Pyrex's own store.

• Glass can shatter. Pyrex's warning says failing to follow its instructions may cause the item to "break or shatter immediately or later", and a buyer on its page reports a dish breaking in a 400°F oven.
• The page does not say where the set is made or what kind of tempered glass it is. The warranty is two years.
• The only independent test we found is of a similar lid, and it found trace cadmium and antimony in the silicone rim and lead in the logo.
• We found no glass lids sold separately, and on 2026-10-23 Pyrex's store showed the set as backordered.
