Product Description

This recall involves the 8 oz models of LAOION children's cups. The insulated, stainless steel cups were sold in packs of four different colored cups - lilac, green, salmon, and blue - with matching silicone straws, spill-proof lids and one straw brush. "LAOION" is printed on the front bottom of the cups.

Hazard

The bottom exterior of the stainless-steel cups contains an accessible solder bead with levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. In addition, the lid can crack and break during use producing sharp edges and small parts, posing choking and laceration hazards to children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take the cups away from children, stop using them and contact LAOION for a full refund. LAOION and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly.
