Wawa-branded tumblers recalled because metal straws cause lacerations

A recall notice was issued for around 60,000 Wawa-branded beverage tumblers after multiple injuries were reported from the products’ metal straws.

A Thursday notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that the metal straw inside the tumbler can “cut your mouth and/or fingers, posing a laceration hazard.” 

Four injuries to the hand and mouth 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.
