Stanley Cup Lead Poisoning Lawyers

Recently, people on social media have started to use lead testing kits on their Stanley cups. These testing kits confirmed that the Stanley cups, and other travel drinking cups contain lead. This has been confirmed by Stanley’s manufacturer, Pacific Market International (PMI). According to PMI, lead is used within these tumblers to create vacuum insulation. The lead is covered by a stainless-steel layer that protects consumers from being exposed to the lead. They claim that lead is inaccessible to consumers and that there is no lead on any of the surfaces that come into contact with either consumers or any liquid contents. Still, consumers are understandably cautious and worried about the situation.

If you or a member of your family suffered lead poisoning due to a Stanley cup, you may have the right to sue. It is important that you seek legal assistance a soon as possible to get a better understanding of your rights. Here at Kenmore, our lawyers are more than ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to fight for your rights and recover the compensation that you are owed.

More on Stanley Cups

Stanley-brand items have been around for years. Yet, Stanley cups have recently gotten so popular that they repeatedly go viral on social media and sell out new releases almost immediately. The craze started when a few influencers started making videos about these cups, boasting about the sizes available, the different color options, and the perfect fit into car cup holders. These cups are so popular that even young children have started to put them on their wish lists – and many children have even been bullied by their peers for not having the newest cup available. Because these cups are so popular, it is even more important that product manufacturers take this issue seriously and take action to lessen consumer risk of exposure to lead.

The Threat of Lead Poisoning from Stanley Cups Should Be Taken Seriously

According to research director Jane Houlihan, there is no likely lead exposure risk to consumers if cups stay intact. However, there is definitely a risk if the bottom seal of the Stanleys comes off. Houlihan claims that there should be no chances taken, especially considering that lead exposure is so dangerous. She states that the company is essentially passing on a safety problem to their consumers – making consumers responsible for keeping cups intact to avoid exposure to lead.

The manufacturer of Stanley cups claims that the cups are safe to use, even containing lead. Still, these cups can become damaged over time and the bottom seal can come off; the bottom seal is the only thing protecting consumers from lead exposure.

Although it is important for consumers to take the risk of lead poisoning seriously, it is even more important for product manufacturers to take responsibility and take action to completely remove the lead from their products.

Other Brand Cups Recalled Due to Risk of Lead Poisoning

Other cups that have been recalled because of lead content and the risk of lead poisoning to consumers include the following:

• Tiblue Stainless Steel Children’s Cups
• Klickpick Home Children’s Cup Sets
• PandaEar Stainless Steel Children’s Cup
• Laoion Stainless Steel Cups

All of these cups contained levels of lead in excess of the federal lead content ban.

The Signs of Lead Poisoning

Exposure to lead – whether its prolonged exposure to low levels or minimal exposure to high levels – can lead to lead poisoning. Since symptoms might not be obvious until dangerous levels of lead have accumulated in the blood, diagnosis is often delayed. In addition, symptoms are often confused for other illnesses.

The symptoms of lead poisoning vary based on the age of the exposed individuals. Those most at risk are young children, as their blood absorbs lead very quickly compared to adults. In children, symptoms may include the following: loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, irritability, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, Pica, hearing loss, seizures, developmental delays, and learning difficulties. Infants exposure to lead before birth can result in premature birth, a lower birth rate, and slowed growth. If exposure continues, infants can suffer devastating consequences. In infants and young children, the risk is higher because the brain is still developing.

In adults, lead poisoning could include the following symptoms: headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, abdominal pain, high blood pressure, and mood disorders. Adult men may also have abnormal sperm and a reduced sperm count. Pregnant women have a higher risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature birth.

No matter the specific harm that you or your loved one suffered due to lead poisoning, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

Do I Have the Right to Sue for Lead Poisoning?

Yes, you could have the right to sue for the lead poisoning that you or a member of your family suffered. If this lead poisoning was caused by the negligent actions of a product manufacturer, for example, affected parties could sue the manufacturer. This means that if the lead poisoning was caused by a Stanley drinking cup, you could sue PMI. This is based on product liability; under product liability, product manufacturers have the duty to ensure that their products completely safe for consumers prior to making them available to the public.
