For Lead-free water bottles our top recommendations are HydroFlask (for insulated stainless steel) & LifeFactory for non-insulated and for beverages other than water. Please do not use stainless steel for anything other than water and please wash thoroughly before first use.
This is what I have purchased for my family.

Hello Tamara,
I so appreciate all you are doing for the cause! I noticed that for the insulated stainless steel flask that you recommended, you said only put in water. I like to take hot green tea along with me for the day. Is there a danger with the green tea and leaching of something?
Thank you in advance for your reply!
More acidic beverages can leach more toxicants out of stainless steel.

Hi Tamara!
Have you ever come across Klean Kanteen? They seem pretty transparent as a company and the bottles themselves do not have the dot. Do all stainless steel bottles have to have a sealing dot? Or can they be made without this feature? Thanks!

What about the hydro flask straws that they sell separately? I tried searching your website but nothing came up. My daughter has been begging for it so I bought it but haven’t used it yet. Thank you.
I understand that a major electronics manufacturer wanted to use recycled Polypropylene (PP) in an ink cartridge for an ink jet printer.
They found that the lead content of the recycled PP was enough that it had a detrimental effect on the ink.
The primary source of recycled PP is from the cases of lead acid batteries. Interestingly the source of the lead was from the colorant in the PP not the lead in the batteries.
