The Stanley cup thing wouldn't be bad, except it's just been released that they contain lead solder in them which can be exposed if the cup is damaged.

Oops. Well, that's definitely not good.

(Says the woman who wants to raise children in a Victorian house with, among other old toys, a dollhouse made by her great-great-grandfather in the 1920s)

(But I WILL take pains to make sure no lead goes into their mouths, which seems like a step above giving them Convey Drink Into Mouth vessels with a lead risk)

#...okay there might also need to be a 'no drinking from Mama's fancy tea set until your brain is sufficiently developed just in case' clause #BUT THOSE CUPS HAVE NO CHIPS OKAY. AND I USE THEM INFREQUENTLY #the only possible risk could be tannins in the tea causing leaching from the colored glazes #and that can be minimized by not filling the cups past the decoration line #ask #anon #lead #stanley cup #I'll properly seal the dollhouse and make it a Play With When Supervised toy #and also just tell them 'if you eat this paint you could die so don't'
