I wouldn't worry about it. Manufacturers of some leaded glass items or out of country-made ceramics with lead-based paints were sued, and then all similar manufacturers put a warning on theirs, even if its not needed, just to avoid a lawsuit. Even if there is lead in the paint on the mug, it only leaches out if you leave alcohol in the mug for DAYS before you drink it - thus, drink it down quick and you'll be fine...
