Check the chipped Stanley thermos's location, size, functionality, and safety implications to make sure it's still in good shape. It's more concerning when there are chips on the inside wall, especially if they are big, sharp, or exposed insulation material, because they can damage the contents and pose health risks. Smaller, smoother chips on the outside wall mostly affect how it looks and how long it lasts.
Keep an eye out for leaks, rust, or a metallic taste. These are all signs that the function has been compromised and that there may be hygiene issues. If the chip is small and doesn't affect how the thermos works, you can use it safely for non-essential tasks again, but keep a close eye out for any changes. But if the chip is big, leaks, or shows insulation, you shouldn't use the thermos because it could be dangerous to your health.
For small chips on the outside wall, keep an eye out for more damage, but know that they mostly just look bad. If there are big chips or leaks, you should stop using it and think about calling Stanley's customer service to get a replacement or repair, if needed.
Always put safety first, and if you're not sure, replace the thermos to avoid possible health risks.
