Green Sprouts is aware of seven incidents where the lead solder dot was exposed, but so far, there have been no medical issues reported (via the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that lead exposure in children can lead to nervous system damage which can in turn cause learning and communication problems. Most people exposed to lead don’t develop symptoms at first, so it’s important to test your child for lead in the blood if you believe an exposure has happened.

“As we approach the redesign of these products, whose benefits for keeping drinks cold safely have made them a popular choice for parents, we will ensure that lead is not used as a soldering material, no matter whether it would be accessible,” the company said in a statement about the incident. With a recent baby formula recall, you may already have enough stress to deal with. Luckily, Green Sprouts has made requesting a refund easy. All you need to do is fill out an online form with details of the product information, and you can receive either store credit or cash.
