New York -based Del Maguey Co. is recalling certain promotional ceramicware cups called copitas, citing possibility to exceed guidance levels for leachable lead by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Copitas are small artisan cups traditionally used for drinking mezcal, a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave.
Hand-crafted by individual Zapotec and Mixtec farmer-families, Del Maguey produces artisanal mezcal that celebrates the traditions of the ancestral villages that produce it.
