Stanley Sued Over Lead Seal In Cups: Stanley may be fueling the cup craze, but the company is facing legal troubles. A new class action lawsuit claims the company did not disclose the use or presence of lead in its products.
The suit was filed earlier this month by a Seattle-based law firm. Several complaints are listed in the suit including breach of contract, express warranties and more.
On Stanley’s website, the company writes that it is transparent about its use of lead and describes how its products are still deemed safe.
A few weeks ago they confirmed the lead by saying “Rest assured that no lead is present on the surface of any Stanley product that comes into contact with the consumer nor the contents of the product.” The only lead in the cup is the vacuum seal dot at the bottom. The company will fight the suit “vigorously.”
