Over 80,000 Children’s Cups Sold on Amazon Pose Lead and Safety Risks
In a recent development, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a major recall affecting over 80,000 children’s cups sold on Amazon. The Tiblue Double-Walled Stainless Steel Children’s Cups, available in both 8 oz and 12 oz sizes, have been recalled due to the presence of exposed solder that contains potentially harmful levels of lead. This recall has raised serious concerns about the safety of these products and the potential harm they can cause to children.
The main issue prompting the recall is the discovery of an accessible solder bead at the bottom of these stainless-steel cups, which contains lead levels exceeding the federal lead content ban. Exposure to lead can lead to severe health risks, especially in young children, including developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. Lead exposure is a matter of utmost concern for parents and caregivers, making this recall a significant event in the world of child safety.
Furthermore, the safety hazards associated with these cups don’t stop at lead exposure. Consumers who purchased these cups have also been cautioned about another alarming issue. The lids of these cups have been found to be prone to cracking and breaking, which can result in sharp edges and the release of small, potentially dangerous parts. Such defects pose a considerable threat to children, as they can lead to injuries such as cuts, scrapes, and choking hazards.
The Tiblue Double-Walled Stainless Steel Children’s Cups were sold in pairs, featuring 11 different color combinations, each including a matching straw. These color options include Pink+Purple, Blue+Green, Turquoise+Magenta, Coral+Indigo, Lemon+Mint, Gray+Slate, Mint+Blush, Lilac+Baby Blue, Rainbow+Mermaid, Dinosaur+Shark, and Unicorn+Dinosaur. To identify the recalled cups, look for the word “Tiblue” printed on the front bottom of the cups.
If you are one of the consumers who purchased these potentially hazardous cups, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your children. Remove the cups from their access, cease using them, and get in touch with FENGM to initiate the process of obtaining a full refund. Both FENGM and Amazon are actively reaching out to known purchasers to facilitate the recall process.
In addition to the Tiblue cups, a similar recall has been issued for Klickpick Home Children’s Cup Sets, affecting approximately 3,600 units. Consumers who have purchased these sets are urged to take the recalled cups away from children, discontinue their use, and promptly contact Klickpick Home for a full refund. Like the Tiblue recall, Klickpick Home and Amazon are also making direct efforts to notify and assist known purchasers during the recall process.
