To decrease the risks associated with eating and drinking from lead crystal, constantly store food and beverages in lead-free containers and immediately transfer them to the crystal item right before serving. New crystal can be soaked in vinegar for 24 hours before use, then hand washed with mild detergent, and thoroughly rinsed in lukewarm water. Since the danger of lead exposure is more prominent for children and pregnant women, it is best to abstain the usage of lead crystal for these groups.
