Stanley cups have been rising in popularity over the last year — which has led to consumers asking questions about the product.

In January, TikTok users created videos claiming thatthe popular tumblers contain leadand could pose a risk for lead poisoning.

At the time, a representative for Stanley pointed PEOPLE to their FAQs, which say that the vacuum insulation technology requires a component that contains lead — but is “inaccessible to consumers.”

“Our manufacturing process currently employs the use of an industry standard pellet to seal the vacuum insulation at the base of our products; the sealing material includes some lead,” the brand’s website reads. “Once sealed, this area is covered with a durable stainless steel layer, making it inaccessible to consumers.”

The brand directly responded to the claims in a statement toToday.com,saying that the lead would only become exposed if the tumbler gets damaged.

The representative explained to the outlet that it’s possible, but “rare.”
