TL;DR Summary

Videos on social media show people testing Stanley cups and other travel flasks for lead, which is used in the vacuum insulation and sealed within the base of some brands of travel drinking cups. While the manufacturer assures that the lead is inaccessible to consumers, concerns remain due to the potential health risks associated with lead exposure. Other brands have also been subject to recalls over lead content, prompting calls for companies to eliminate lead from their products. There is no safe level of lead for children, and ongoing exposure, even at low levels, can be toxic, making it crucial for parents to be aware of potential sources of lead exposure and get their child's lead levels tested.
