"Understanding Lead in Drinkware: Should You Worry About Your Stanley Cup?"

TL;DR Summary
Social media videos show people testing Stanley cups for lead, which is used in the vacuum insulation but covered by stainless steel. While the manufacturer assures that no lead is present on the surface, concerns about potential exposure remain. Other brands of travel drinking cups have also been recalled due to lead content, prompting calls for stricter regulations and alternatives to lead in manufacturing. Lead exposure, especially for children, can have serious health effects, and experts recommend regular testing for lead levels in children.
