Stanley 1913, whose drinkware was arguably the hottest promotional product of 2023, has been mired in controversy in recent years. The brand has responded to consumer fears about its products containing lead, and then last year, its parent company, Pacific Market International, was sued by Stanley Black & Decker over the use of the name “Stanley.”
