Because the actual metallic salts added to the glass are unknown, the addition of some fluids (acids, or very hot liquids) could create a reaction. But most of the material is fused into the glass itself. Some types of iridescent glass cannot be used in microwaves for the same reason. Actual antique "carnival glass" may have collectible value, so using it could affect that.

As old as this thread is I thought I'd still add some points- If you consider uranium glass unsafe to use for food/drink (which most do) than you should think about getting a black light to check out your carnival glass. I recently found out my carnival set is uranium based. I would only use this for display purposes!
