As I read about yet another consumer product from China that has lead in it, I wondered if anybody’s been checking our metal water bottles. I have about a dozen and every single one of them is made in China.

@crazybutable Uh this article is 8 years old and focused on kids bottles and sippy cups, but hopefully every single bottle is now put through rigorous testing.

@MelodyCooper my apologies, this is the correct site but not the correct article with the adult drink tumblers. I got mixed up. I looked for it and I can’t find it!

But if you have a concern on a specific brand or model of tumbler, you can search for a brand name and the individual articles for each type of water bottle will come up.

Also, sorry about the tone of my response. on second read the initial “uh” sounds dismissive, I honestly don’t know what I was thinking

@crazybutable NP. I was feeling snarky in response but realized you were just trying to help. I don’t wonder what federal agency is responsible.

@MelodyCooper also the article was originally from 8 years ago but was last updated in 2024.

I don’t know what federal agency is responsible for testing but this is a person who is doing independent third party lead tests. Focused on kids stuff but she hits adult products too. Also sometimes Consumer Reports has some roundup testing on drink tumblers
