Man, you just reminded me about how much I used to love stealing pieces of solder off the spool in my dad’s office. I loved how I could bend and tear metal with my bare hands like Superman. I loved forming it into a spiral and pretending it was a coin. Then I’d bite and bend it like Underdog. Sometimes I’d just chew on it cuz it was kinda sweet.
One day, my dad got a new kind of solder that didn’t taste as good.
At this point you should read your own link. From the description of how it works, it doesn’t sound like a critical part at all. It’s part of the plastic flair on the outside. The cup is still perfectly functional and insulating.
I guarantee you’ve used many things after a piece of nonfunctional plastic broke off.
Stanley Cups apparently contain lead for a seal.

Maybe people should start worrying about the solders on their plumbing first…
I won’t debate that, it’s something I saw on Internet Today. Hell due to my lifestyle I’ve never actually seen the cup in real life.

Anyway, it turns out I’m a moron…
Until the plastic falls off and you handle it, wash it, etc.
As for pipes whataboutism, how about we stop introducing new products with lead?
If the bottom falls off I hope you’re intelligent enough to realise that your cup is broken
