China producing clothes containing led, and factories in China emiting CFCs were both recently in the news.

I heard rumours that the new Stanley cup everyone was obsessed with for a week contained lead (not in contact with the inside of the cup, but still, why is lead there at all in 2024)

Was that rumour ever substantiated?

The lead is sealed inside the plug that contains the vacuum. I guess it's "industry standard" or something. Heard from the horse's mouth.
