A CT scan of Stanley’s viral Quencher cup has confirmed what the company has been saying all along: There’s only lead at the bottom of the cup. The lead is covered by a stainless steel cover, which Stanley says makes it “inaccessible to customers.” In the end, though, lead exposure might come down to a matter of luck.

Last week, Stanley landed itself in hot water after a safety advocate went viral for pointing out that the company uses toxic lead in cups, tumblers, and other products. The internet, which spent recent months celebrating Stanleys as the must-have hot girl product, went ballistic.
