Confirmed by Stanley



quote:

It’s true: There is some lead sealed within the base of some brands of travel drinking cups — including the wildly popular brand Stanley.

Lead is used as part of the tumbler’s vacuum insulation and is covered by a stainless steel layer that protects consumers from lead exposure, according to the Stanley cup manufacturer, Pacific Market International.

“Our manufacturing process currently employs the use of an industry standard pellet to seal the vacuum insulation at the base of our products; the sealing material includes some lead,” a Stanley spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “Once sealed, this area is covered with a durable stainless steel layer, making it inaccessible to consumers.”

Probably a cabinet full with mismatched tops like the rest of us.

My wife works with a lot of really nice ladies, they like o give each other gifts. About 50% of the gifts are some type of insulated cup with a cute design on them. None of them have the same lid. It is like solving a puzzle every time I want to take one on the road on a hunting morning.

So, the basic bitches will get even more attention when they sue for lead exposure.

I’m all about making fun of people for buying 50 of them or fighting over them in Target, but I have a 10 year old 32 Oz yeti that I use daily.

Lead is in a lot of things. Is it an unsafe amount? Is it in the part you drink out of?

So is the lead exposed or not?

The company is saying no, this woman is saying yes.
