Is the ceramic glaze lead free?

It is almost impossible to have a totally lead-free ceramic. This is why even an illustrious company like Fiesta can only advertise as "lead free" and not "100% lead free" because lead is naturally occurring in the materials we use to make most glazes, and so there will always be some *trace* amount of lead. If it is made in China, there is no way to know for sure if there is lead in it or not. But you can order test strips and test it yourself.

Is the interior entirely ceramic or can you see the stainless steel heating element inside? Ie- does the water inside touch stainless steel?

the interior is all ceramic but you can see the heating element, which is located on the back side by the heater.

Is there any plastic that comes in contact with the water?

Actually yes. Technically, it is some sort of rubber seal. Between ceramic body and stainless steel heat element, there is very tight gap that has to be sealed by rubber gasket. The contact is very minimum. I just found this after using it for over 4 years.

Does the glaze contain cadmium or lead?

By law, to sell in the USA it can't have lead in it, nevertheless it is made in China and Chinese factories have cut corners and sold countless items for animals and humans in the U.S. and Europe that had lead and other poisons in them. During the G. W. Bush years when consumer protection agencies' budgets were slashed and they could not inspect what was coming into the country, banned substances were turning up in toys, dishes, foods, and pet products. Lead and melamine were two biggies. In fact, not only did Chinese factories put melamine in candy and dog food that ended up in the U.S. and Europe (killing pets in the U.S.) but in 2008 they put melamine in milk and baby formula sold in China itself, causing injury and hospitalization for 300,000 people and the deaths of Chinese infants. We're back to another anti-government administration bent on crippling our federal agencies we created to protect us, so I wouldn't be in a hurry to trust anything coming out of countries with histories of ignoring our consumer protection laws. Even when manufacturers make it a requirement, they too often don't know what it is really happening in the factories they use in countries suffering from so much corruption.
