Hazardous Bottles
There is a designated federal lead paint standard. Any product that has lead content that goes above this lead standard is posing a health risk to its users. The surface paint of the Backyard and Beyond Metal Water Bottles has excessive levels of lead. This level thus violates the federal lead paint standard. The intake of lead in any way or form is highly injurious to a person’s health. Exposure to lead affects the brand development of children in a negative manner. Moreover, there are no obvious symptoms associated with lead exposure.
At higher levels of lead exposure, children could suffer from serious symptoms like head aches, anemia, and various other gastrointestinal symptoms. So, if you have used a recalled product that violates lead standards, it’s necessary that you get a check-up done immediately.
