At the bottom, on the side that's not in contact with your drink, under a plastic cover...

Man, people are flipping out while they probably drink water from copper pipes with lead solders at home and they never worried about it when these are actually in contact with their water!

Yes you're intentionally ignoring the fact that washing the fucking thing causes lead exposure to anyone unaware of this issue. Copper pipes from 40 years ago aren't really relevant to the Convo. Not sure why you're simping so hard.

While I agree there was probably a better way to accomplish their goal, most of the replies here are just under informed fear mongering.

No. Using lead in anything that ever could be in contact with food or drink is irresponsible and moronic. Nothing about that is untrue or an exaggeration
