Stanley tumblers have quickly become the most popular new trend for everyone from kids to adult women.
But a new claim by influencer Lead Safe Mama that Stanley tumblers contain high amounts of toxic lead has gone viral as much as the cups themselves, prompting consumers to protect themselves and their children. This is raising concerns about what kind of poisons they will be exposed to.
Stu Bruguiere isn’t so sure that’s true.

Robert Bassett, associate medical director of the Poison Control Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told The Washington Post that it’s “not a risk.”

“There is zero chance of lead contamination except in one spot on these cups,” Bruguière explains.
“That’s the bottom of the cup,” he added, pointing to the outside bottom of the cup that doesn’t touch the liquid.
“It is important to note that depending on where the lead pellets are placed, there is zero chance of lead pellets getting into your drink,” he continues. “Unless it was done intentionally.”
