Some 60,000 Wawa-branded beverage tumblers are under recall due to a laceration hazard posed by the products’ metal straw.
According to a Thursday published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the metal straw inside the now-recalled tumblers can cut a user’s mouth and/or fingers. Four injuries have been reported to date.
The Commission is urging consumers to immediately stop using the metal straws and contact Illinois-based Halo Branding Solutions, the tumblers’ distributor, for a silicone replacement. If a customer would also like to return the tumbler, they can receive a $15 refund in the form of a gift card.
Impacted consumers should not try to return the tumblers to Wawa stores, Thursday’s notice notes. More more information about how to participate is .
The recalled tumblers were sold exclusively at Wawa stores across Alabama, Washington, D.C., Delaware, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland in August of this year. The 24-ounce drinkware came in four different styles.
In a statement, Pennsylvania-based Wawa maintained that it hasn’t had the tumblers recalled by Halo in its stores since mid-August and noted that 5,433 units were sold.
