Stanley cups, the popular water bottles cherished by many on social media, have traces of lead within the product, according to the company.
Stanley cups, the popular water bottles cherished by many on social media, have come under scrutiny over claims that the products contain lead, which can be harmful to human health.
The trendy tumblers have been gaining traction online through social media in recent years. But recently, some social media users shared videos where they conducted at-home lead tests on these tumblers. In the videos, some of the testers reported positive results for lead.
There are traces of lead within the product, according to the U.S.-based company. However, it added that lead is not present on the surface of the bottle.
While Stanley has acknowledged there is lead in its products, the company assured they are still safe and meets U.S. regulatory requirements.
“At Stanley, one of the key features of our products is our vacuum insulation technology, which provides consumers with drinkware that keeps beverages at the ideal temperature,” the company stated on its website.
“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. Once sealed, this area is covered with a durable stainless steel layer, making it inaccessible to consumers.”
The company added: “Rest assured that no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.”
