I love this, from the article:

There is no evidence that the people who made these dishes suffered any ill effects from exposure to the glazes, so you probably don't have a lot to worry about by just being around the dishes.

Now, keep in mind, these are the folks who were exposed to the glazes daily, sometimes for years, while the glazes are NOT cured/fired, i.e. they are not bound mechanically, so there would be lots of free floating dust from the glazes, glazes on fingers, etc.

Reading the rest of the article, it sounds like you should simply display the Fiesta Ware behind leaded glass, if you even dare to keep it in the house. The reality is, "so what?" A collector of such is more likely to die from a stress/startle induced heart attack due to dropping a piece than they are from any increased cancer risk.
