The company Bindle Bottle issued a voluntary recall for its insulated bottles, according to a notice published Thursday on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website.
The recall notice said the affected products "may contain an area of exposed lead located in the bottom storage compartment" that could potentially cause unpackaged food to become contaminated.
For those who consume such food, it could "pose health problems," according to the notice.
Through testing, lead was found in a bare soldering dot located within the dry storage container at the bottom of the Bindle Bottles, the notice said.
