- Stanley cup water bottles and tumblers exploded in popularity in the past year, but they're facing scrutiny amid claims the products contain lead, which can be harmful to human health.
The company confirms on its website that there are traces of lead within the product, but adds the toxic chemical is not present on the surface of the bottle and thus consumers are not at risk of exposure.
As Sean Previl reports, while the company says its the bottles and tumblers are safe, one chemical expert says it that can depend on the product and how much wear and tear it's gone through.

This explains why every one who buys one acts like they have lead poisoning
I don’t act like it
😂😂😂😂😂 funny

Because they do
I had no idea why people were freaking out about a reusable cup, but now it all makes sense to me: they have brain damage from heavy metal poisoning.
I thought it was the NHL trophy the Stanley Cup that was being referred to 😂
Glass is the safest material to drink from.
Indeed, I saw some very nice etched glass pints with Stanely Cups on them. I bought one a decade ago.

I absolutely use. Easy to see if it’s clean. No chance of metal or plastic toxicity.
Also one of the easiest to break & does not hold ice for nearly as long as a metal bottle.
I heard Stanley Cups went viral after Taylor Swift used them and a TikTok video showed some woman’s car after a fire and the Stanley she owned was intact and still keeping her drink cold.
If you lined up to buy a $40 cup, you have bigger issues
I understand buying a quality product and paying the premium that goes along with...but some of these people who buy shelves and shelves? to display?
Definitely not money issues
That is not true that they don’t have money issue….. I know young ones who bought these pricey mugs …and have no money in savings …live pay check to pay check…live with parents and just want to buy expensive things . Some Parents don’t teach offsprings about affordable value ….
Tik tok can be madness , it sometimes encourages the wrong financial decisions. Some parents agree with their children’s purchases and then also wonder why the adult child’s bank account bal is so low…..😮???
people are a bunch of dummies for buying this product it should be
100% stainless
plus sucking on the straw plastic spout can wear down your teeth
I think they had lead poisoning before they ran around trying to buy a cup.
All these products have a shelf life, after which they're disposed of hopefully in the safest manor. That said, even minute amounts of lead compounded by the sheer volume of sales of the popular product ahead of the Stanley Cup, means that there is the potential for lead contamination in the wider context of recycling. ♻️ How the cups are broken down & what's done to safely dispose of lead-contaminated waste, is what will determine how our environment will be impacted long-term.
Humans haven't been too successful in dealing with the waste we create & our planet is choking on our hubris. 🌎🎱
This is just an excuse to keep buying and replacing Stanley Cups.😂😂
He sounded so enthusiastic 😅
Those Starbucks cups always get fluid inside after a while then liquid carrying lead juice can drip out. Probably fine lead coating in it.
Lots of panic and sensationalism over NOTHING. Unless you give a Stanley to your toddler and the seal button on the bottom is missing and your toddler plays with that spot or licks it, this is a huge NOTHING. The lead is NOT on the inside surface of the container area where your beverage goes. It's just under a spot-welded disk on the BOTTOM of the container where they put the inner wall under vacuum to remove air. The cups are VACUUM SEALED with this little disk with lead/tin solder. That's why they work; because of the vacuum seal. So, this silly lady splashed all over UA-cam swabbing that spot on the UNDERNEATH side of the cup, yea, really dumb. UNLESS, you have toddlers who might get a hold of a busted cup and lick the bottom, lead (Pb) isn't magically going to cross through the stainless steel wall of the cup. It's METAL.
Lead in drinking water has been a valid concern and sill could be for some old homes that have lead pipe plumbing. Back in the day, lead pipes were COMMON and drinking water was delivered to taps via those leaded pipes. Water sitting in leaded pipes, depending on it's PH, can leach lead from the pipes and end up in your drinking glass or coffee cup or boiling pot. Same thing for leaded crystal. Drinking from lead crystal isn't a big deal unless you STORE drinks in leaded crystal containers for extended periods of time. The ancient Romans used lead solder to seal joints in their "aqua ducts." Hence, theories about the downfall of the Roman Empire due to degraded mental faculties from chronic elevated blood lead levels.
This little dot of lead solder on the bottom (OUTSIDE) of these cups is nothing to flip out about or a reason to throw away an otherwise perfectly good vacuum sealed beverage container. Besides, if the little disk falls off, Stanley will replace the cup under warranty.
Dear Internet, science is a thing. Try using it CORRECTLY sometime. Stanley should pay me a fee for explaining this stuff!
💯💯👏🏼
tyy I was worried
You know there are a lots of kids start using it at school. It can be possible.
OK. Lightning could kill me today. It can be possible. How many toddlers are using these giant stainless steel vacuum sealed cups in day care facilities? Again, one needs to lick the bottom of the exposed lead solder spot, so the little disk would have to be broken off, in order to consume any lead. In order to elevate lead level in blood, one would have to lick that spot, repeatedly over the course of numerous days per week for several weeks or more. This whole issue is ridiculous sensationalism for nothing. The internet is killing our collective brain cells way faster than lead is.@@cloudtang030
How about just don’t use lead at all in the product and you won’t have to worry about it ever???!!!!
No lead comes in contact... then why are kits testing positive for lead?
Are these cups effective?
They hold liquid so I guess so.
VERY, some sell for 500 dollars
Why add it then makes zero sense
Life time. Or when Tiktok tells you to buy something else in two months.
Remember tic tool told them to not vote Trump
Utah moms after seeing this: 😱😰😭
This a pure case that shows. how people in general are just sheeps and will follow any thing to the bottom of cliff 😂😂😂😂
That's just Canadians in a nutshell.
@@FreshLyte lol ! Yeah but it's worldwide though . I don't get why and wts so special about that company or these type of mugs ?
Yea but that lead though
Im sure the pesticides and wax preservatives on produce is far worse.
I may contain lead....and lots of body filler dust, years of bare hands and lacquer thinner, fish eye reducer, etc......and I smoke.....Dont drink though.......A long time ago I had a Kawasaki 3 cyl 2 stroke 750.......I'm lucky to be alive.........I have this idea for a rocket bicycle.............
I believe a 1972 3 cyl 2 stroke 750 was sold at Mecum auctions for 40,000.00. You were fortunate to have one.
I didnt have just one, I had a 250, and two different mach3 500's......The second 500 was bought new at the dealer, it was stolen about a month later...I went back and worked a deal to get a previous year 750 that was on the floor ....I was 18 at the time, working at the mill....I'm approaching 70, now, and less than a mile from here is a basket case 500 with 2 spare engines and a bunch of parts for $1500.00....They arrent really that rare,if you hunt around.....I still have a soft spot for them after all this time, but I probably wouldnt ride it...just restore it and listen to it idle in the garage now and then.....That idle with a set of expansion chambers is magic......@@daveywaite25
Oh I have a tumbler Stanley oh nooooo I didn’t know 😢😢
lol, you people are not very bright...
@@derekwoodford9955 like humans can see into the future 😂 cmon buddy be real.
@@DivineAMV no, but only idiots buy product when they have no idea what is in those products.... Most people have more sense than that.
I honestly don’t care I’m ditching my Stanley and buying a new cup
It’s a mug not a cup. Stop calling it that
Its a cup.
a mug is a cup
A mug is simply a large cup by definition. In the time it took you to make this comment you could have simply looked up the definition in an online dictionary.
@@zacharyreynolds4303😂😂 the way that person said with so much conviction.....it's not a mug it's a cup 😂😂😂
It's neither a mug or a cup, it's a tumbler!
Still safer than the vaccine
Mind control on full display
