Here’s another “Prime Deal” to AVOID this Prime Day: We confirmed that these are made with Leaded sealing dots https://amzn.to/3JXpXx4 (aflink so you can see it in the wild). We DO NOT recommend buying this product.

Instead: Here’s Lead-Free Alternative
For a Lead-free alternative, buy one of these instead! Any newly purchased (post-2017) size and any color from this brand is Lead-free. This is because I called them out for having Lead in their products (over 10 years ago) and they eventually fixed the problem! (Although y’know… they never thanked me for my help in fixing their product, lol! #sigh.) Affiliate link: https://amzn.to/43qIYih!

YES! That is correct (hydroflask).

Is it only if the protective outer dot falls off that you are exposed to lead? I already have an expensive Stanley and don’t want to get rid of it but I do have little ones in the house.
