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.

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
