Are we afraid these no-name brands will have lead mixed in? or nawh?
I am. Enameling is a toxic process that usually involves lead. Country of origin is unknown which usually means China. In an effort to cut costs I'm betting most of these no-name companies take shortcuts. Not for me and my family.

Dont buy any no name cast iron off Amazon. Lead or not, the quality and seasoning is terrible. I had to toss my small pot after 2 uses since the coating came off and into my food both times

The temperature required to liquify and to make cast iron pans will vaporize lead, so there is no worry of lead contamination in the original posted product. Ceramic coatings can have lead, though it is easy to test for with cheap lead test sticks available on Amazon.
As regards Chinese cast iron having bad seasoning, that is easy to fix by performing proper seasoning technique yourself prior to using it which should also be done on American cast iron. You can find many similar methods by doing an internet search for cast iron seasoning.
I hope this info is helpful to someone.

For black iron it really doesn't matter. For enameled iron (the colored ones) I wouldn't buy anything besides Staub or Le Ceuset.
I say that not bc of lead, but bc enamel will always crack eventually and those two companies have real warranties.
For the plain cast iron, if you were really worried, you could strip and season yourself.

poor blanket advice. i stripped and seasoned mine once right when I got it and it's been great for 7 years now.
Facts are facts, regardless of how easy it is for you to belittle the source, but if you want to hear it from someone who isn't new here: questionable enameling is not a concern with a dutch oven that isn't even enameled. Are you also concerned about the poor quality of electronics causing a failure, or the low gas mileage? Those concerns are equally relevant with this black, non-enameled cast iron pan.

The deal doesn't work. Even if your willing to chance the black non enameled one the code doesn't work for the amount quoted it only takes the price down to $45ish. Still a good deal but id rather get it for 30 and I would rather have a red or blue one anyway.
