Where the lead is in the Stanley cup

Stanley cups do have lead in them but it’s under the logo button.

Imagine just using ANY other material besides LEAD.

[KOSerg-voqb]

If your home was build before 1978 you have lead pipes and lead paint

[uploderpilot]

Sweet! When you put them in the dishwasher, you give your whole family lead poisoning! What are the odds the botton falls off in the dishwasher? Sounds super safe and great for the environment! Hydroflask doesn't use lead, so I guess it's not every manufacturer ....

Wait I missed the message… should I keep drinking from my Stanley

[spankyharland]

whoa, the button fell off the bottom of my Stanley cup, and I just can't help licking the indention part.

[fraliexb]

Well maybe we need to use lead free solder....

[Dior-plays-Yk]

SO I GOT SCRAED PF DRINKING OF A STANLEY CUP FOR NO REASON!

[cristinagrosu-edey]

Is it still safe to use the cup if that part hasn’t fallen off ?😳

[nigelcarren]

I would dispute that lead being out of touch is not a problem. Because old damp lead can become lead oxide which is highly toxic, and I wouldn’t want that in my dishwasher. 🇬🇧

OMgosh, I really thought this was about hockey...NHL Stanley Cup.😂

[Phlegethon]

Stanley’s full of it, how are consumers suppose to know this? What’s preventing someone from just putting their cup in something else and contaminating it with the Stanley lead

[carls.]

the lifetime warranty only lasts for about a month after purchase

[nathanosgreen]

So many half wits in the comments
"So iS It SAfE To drInK fRoM My StaNLeY"...

YES if the button sealing the lead solder on the bottom is intact then its fine.

I threw mine out. It’s not safe to have any lead in the house, even encapsulated lead because encapsulation doesn’t take wear and tear into consideration after prolonged use. It’s honestly not safe so please avoid all companies that do these things! There’s so many high quality bottles that don’t use lead and are just as good if not better. The two I always used growing up (hydro flask and yeti) are same price, same features and quality if not better quality and don’t use lead. Please don’t ever trust companies like Stanley that do something like this. It’s only safe before wear and tear. Please don’t risk damage and lead exposure to yourself, kids, pets. Not worth it. By the way, many companies do sneaky things like this because of loopholes and no lead requirements on the imports. So even if you buy from a local store, check the lead laws of the country it’s imported from since our current import laws with lead are very weak and there’s a lack of global support. Stanley’s loophole was encapsulation but there’s so many more loopholes and import issues.

What is the purpose of the lead? Can’t they make the cup all stainless steel? We all know lead is dangerous. Why even have it on the cup?

[chrisallen]

This has nothing at all to do with hockey

[GunnerTheThunder]

I swear people will cry about any in every single thing.
