You say this like we don't still have kitchenware with lead (or other nasties like cadmium) in them, often for purely aesthetic reasons. Most of these are discontinued products still in circulation, but some are still being produced (in theory they're "safe for use" because the heavy metals are sealed behind something nontoxic, but scratches and chips may expose them).
Would you be talking about plates, spoons and such, when saying, "kitchenware"?
Because I don't see something like a wok having a heavy metal being sealed behind something else, since the surface needs to be some metal anyway and I don't know of any transparent metals.
On another note, I recently got gifted a melamine crockery set, by the company. And since this is a product that could easily be problematic if the manufacturing process were not perfect (and I don't see the company not cheaping out), I only use the stuff for keeping peels and other waste, before throwing it out.
