Description
A popular brand of insulated bottle poses a risk of lead poisoning, according to Consumer Reports.
In its tests of the product, Consumer Reports found that the Bindle bottle could expose users to "extremely high" levels of lead. The advocacy group also said some bottles contained bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical known to cause fertility problems and some kinds of cancers. Bindle markets the product as BPA-free.
Bindle calls its water jug a "sip and stash" bottle, with an upper compartment that holds a liquid and a bottom section suitable for storing snacks, keys or other personal items.
Consumer Reports said it found lead on the bottle's "sealing dot," a small, circular piece of metal at the bottle's base, in the lower storage compartment. The part is about 10% lead and contains lead levels that are roughly 1,100 times higher than what's generally considered safe, according to the publication, noting that anything that comes into contact with the dot is at risk of lead contamination.
