The Bindle Bottle company has issued a voluntary recall for its vacuum flasks, according to a notice posted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website on Thursday.
The recall notice said the affected products “may contain an area of exposed lead in the lower storage compartment” that could potentially lead to unpackaged food contamination.
For those who eat such foods, it “could pose health problems,” the statement said.
Testing found lead in a bare solder point that was in the dry storage container at the bottom of the Bindle bottles, the release said.
