The FDA does not list crock pots as a lead contamination risk. I'm hoing to take their word on it over a bunch of random people on reddit.

What a very poor point to make that defies basic logic.
The FDA has not, can not, and will not test every crock pot manufactured and chase every manufacturer down and make records for the last 72 years. They are not infalliable, your own source states this and that you should conduct your own tests for any vintage wares, or where possible just not use them, additionally if you look through their data, they've only tested 4 American made products... All the rest are international. The only reasonable takeaway from your source is that you should be careful... Which is all a bunch of random people on reddit are telling you.
If this basic logic is too much for you to recieve from a bunch of people over reddit then theres no helping you.
That burden of responsibility to know what your products are made of and their risks is on you, and you alone.
. The FDA also states that there is an acceptable amount of lead leech, despite lots of new peer reviewed studies suggesting that there is no safe amount of lead exposure. The FDA rules regarding the matter are not up to date, like many things these things take time to update and standardise.
Newer crockpots still have a small amount of lead leech that is well known despite this. Their answer to queries regarding this was that they are below FDA regulatory levels.
The FDA is not the be all and end all absolute governing authority on the matter, merely a guiding body.
