Do Stanley tumblers contain lead? The short answer is, yes, but it is safe. After Stanley cups became a craze due to social media, rumors are circulating that the tumbler contains lead, which is extremely toxic. Lead builds up in the body and causes brain developmental problems, kidney problems, and even issues with the nervous system. Lead can be found in the base of the Stanley cup and is used to vacuum seal the insulation that keeps the drink hot or cold. Due to this, customers are safe because the lead is not accessible-- it is hidden behind a thick layer of stainless steel. Still, in the rare event that the bottom cap comes off when the Stanley cup is damaged, the consumer can quickly be exposed to high levels of toxic lead. It's not just Stanley, though. Many companies have been called out for high lead levels in their products, and lead is used to seal the insulation of various cups from numerous brands. If you have a Stanley cup and the cap comes off, make sure to stay away from the lead part and replace it immediately; any Stanley cup is eligible for replacement under their lifetime warranty.
