How much lead?
Apparently, almost all mass-produced bottles have lead-based solder in them, including the expensive ones. Lead-free solder is expensive, so there's not a lot if brand that exists with safe solder. Also, the solder dot is on the outside, at the bottom of the flask, so as long as it is protected from erosion by use of a cap-like structure, you're safe.
I'm talking about the steel in general. There have been many recalls of items made using stainless steel that was contaminated.
