First, let me say that I'm a parent, and my kids have survived me into their forties with no health problems. Now read the description carefully. Then notice that the possible offender in the cup is described as a dot. This dot has some (small amount) of lead in it. So a spot that has a dot is the problem? Why, no! The problem is that if the cup breaks apart, a person MAY come into contact with this dot. Any decent, or even quarter-decent parent would remove a broken cup from a child's hand.

So there's a recall over a dot on a spot, maybe touched by a tot, which, as problems go, in my book, is not.

I didn't start with the rhyme, really. It just happened.

You know that your generation, and mine, has a significantly lower IQ due to your generations abuse of lead in fucking everything, right?

So I fully realize that it's not full your fault that you're a fucking idiot about lead poisoning. But dude.

I'm no expert but I feel like even a dot of lead in a baby cup is too much lead. And besides, it's not just about one dot—it's the risk of further or even worse contamination in other products from the same manufacturers.
