Just to be clear, this isn’t a problem with just plastic packaging.

Obviously part of the process which allows you to pull the vessel into vacuum and then throw a glob of molten material at it to keep it that way. The only other way I know to do that is using a cold crimp device to seal off a copper tube and keep vacuum.  Lead solder on PCBs is a totally different thing.

If course not but they won't be harmed by it and the vast majority of people have no clue its there.  Come on. Use some common sense. 

The lead is in an inaccessible location for a functioning cup.  Should the lead become accessible, it means the cup is broken and cannot be used.  There’s zero percent chance of ingesting Pb with this product, but such a conclusion won’t get the same clickybait headline.

“if people touch the lead pellet inside their cups and then touch food, they could expose themselves to lead.”

You are thinking of an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). CT Scan (Computed Tomography Scan) are basically really fancy X-Rays, where MRIs subject the person to intense magnetic fields, and then do stuff to see how different materials respond.

You’re thinking of an MRI scan which uses a large magnet, a CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a glorified Xray. It takes many Xray images from different angles and generates a 3d image/model.

Sure but their process is already set and would take investment to alter their process.  Why bother when it doesnt have any health risks. 

Those people are silly. They are in no way exposed to lead. Even if the cap did come off, put it back on or just contact stanley. And even if one touches the pellet, there is no absorption. Lead does not get absorbed through the skin.

Even worse, a slide show to bookmarks on the same video

Wow, you DEI bible thumpers really can’t take criticism, can you? Is that a condition of your funding as well, to shut down any and all dissent?

of all the non issues

“Wear" the lead is? C'mon man.

Sounds like Don Lemon killed Don Lemon’s deal.

Why is it weird?

On average, I get paid about 20 cents a word, so no, I did not make $1,800 for this article. 

I join you in your hatred of chrome - especially chrome plastic. It is god awful, and outside of cars from the 50s and 60s, I don’t want to see it anywhere. So, I’m with you. And hey, contrary to the other poster, I love the yellow lights. 

Voyager 1 was launched just a few months after the Star Wars franchise was. Both have been transmitting a lot of gibberish lately.

I don’t understand what’s dumbed down about this?

V-ger’s probably pretty cold and lonely by now.
