Is your Stanley Cup a potential health hazard?
From claims that Stanley cups contain lead, to warnings of drinking too much water, is your beloved tumbler a potential health risk?
Are the rumors true? Can you get really get lead poisoning from your stylish hydration companion?
Concerned Stanley cup owners are posting videos across social media conducting at-home lead tests on the bottoms of the cups, with positive results. And they’re warning people not to use the cups because of risks to lead exposure.
This is prompting others across TikTok to test their cups, and the results are mixed.
Stanley has responded to the claims telling TODAY.com that there is lead in the cup, but it’s securely enclosed in the bottom cap, and has to be damaged in order to be exposed.
Stanley also told USA TODAY that all their products meet US regulatory requirements.
And lead isn’t the only controversy health Stanley is facing - doctors says users of the large tumbler actually could be drinking too much water, which can get you really sick and even be deadly.
With the 40-ounce Stanley, doctors said women don’t need to be drinking more than 2 full cups – and no more than 3 for men.
