About 2.6 million Stanley cups have been recalled after customers reported dangerous problems with the cup’s construction.

The CPSC said Stanley has received 91 reports worldwide of the valve shutting down, resulting in 38 burns and 11 people requiring medical attention. The company is offering a free replacement cover to affected consumers. You can see if your Stanley is part of the recall and request a replacement lid on the company’s website.
Stanley previously had a PR kerfuffle when it was noted that some of his cups contained small amounts of lead, but experts said it posed no threat to users at all – the lead was part of the insulation that was not disclosed to consumers.
A new recall isn’t perfect, but if you’re affected it should be easy enough to get a new, better-performing lid. And your Quencher is still ready to use on your next Target run.
