Your article contains a statement from Stanley: “no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.”
I don’t find anything supporting your claim that the cups were “found to contaminate drinks with lead.”
Am I missing something?
You’re not wrong. They use lead to seal the vacuum. You will only be contaminated with lead if it gets damaged. Most other big popular brands moved away from lead to glass sealing years ago citing worker health and potential lead exposure if they get damaged.
Adding to that, Stanley Tumblers have become the latest status symbol for children as well as adults. So it’s not uncommon for a child to get bullied because their water bottle isn’t a Stanley Tumbler.
As far as I know, they didn’t show to actually contaminate drinks. There’s just lead in places where it doesn’t come into contact with the drink. The lawsuit is for not disclosing this information. Or at least that’s how the article reads.
Edit: it was in California, where it’s mandatory to say whether or not the product has lead (and probably other things) in it.
There’s a company called Stanley that has been treating thermos releases like designer sneaker drops. Imagine the Hydroflask hype but limited releases causing high demand.
I know what 2 girls 1 cup is but I don’t understand what else is being referenced in this image.
There is a consumerist TikTok craze for some expensive type of thermocup by the company Stanley.. It was also found to contaminate drinks with lead.
And these three ladies were in a skit on the US comedy TV show Saturday Night Live which was about that thermos hype.

Ah, so my poisonous drinking cup is only poisonous if I use it a little too rough?
To me it’s wild that a cup mafe in 2024 contains lead at all

Up until now I thought it was the same Stanley that makes tools which was making no sense to me
