Man, fuck this planet. Whether it’s plastic or lead, you can’t seem to fucking avoid shit.

Hey now, it's not the planet's fault. It's not the one refusing to invest in safety testing.

From my understanding, the lead content is on the inside of the vacuum flask. Which is why it passed testing several times before someone cut it open and actually tested the inner material.
