Hydro Flask shades Stanley cups over lead content concerns Instagram\/hydroflaskThe water bottle wars have begun. Hydro Flask has thrown shade at Stanley after health concerns about lead content in their cups were raised. Stanley cups have taken over the market, becoming a cultural phenomenon with everyone and their grandmother fighting to get their hands on the product at Target. However, the Stanley tumblers have recently faced backlash over health concerns when a TikToker found lead in her cup, sparking panic from those who have been using them. Despite the concerns over Stanley cups being made with lead, they are safe to use, but that didn\u2019t stop rival company Hydro Flask from taking advantage of the confusion to blast their opposition. Hydro Flask burns Stanley tumblers lead backlash In a statement on Instagram, Hydro Flask took aim at Stanley with a series of posts about how their products don\u2019t contain lead. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of conversation happening right now around lead. We want to assure you that Hydro Flask does not use lead in our vacuum sealing process,\u201d the company said. Hydro Flask further explained that in 2012 they began sealing their bottles using a new process that didn\u2019t involve any lead and have been using it for over a decade. \u201cEven though this process was more complex \u2013 and more expensive \u2013 we chose this path because we aimed for a higher standard, knowing lead could be harmful to our consumers, manufacturing partners and the environment.\u201d The final slide of the post doesn\u2019t reference Stanley by name, but users could tell exactly who it was geared towards with the sharp words: \u201cWe aim for a higher standard.\u201d Across social media, fans rallied behind Hydro Flask, but many were baffled by the new feud between companies. \u201cDid not have water bottle wars on my Bingo card for 2024,\u201d one remarked. \u201cHoly crap the water bottle beef is real,\u201d another commented on the thread. So far, Stanley hasn\u2019t responded to the shade, but the company has defended itself against concerns of lead poisoning, confirming the product meets all US regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
