Tiblue Stainless Steel Children’s Cups Recall: Reason, Sizes, and Other Details Revealed

Over 84,000 Tiblue Stainless Steel Children’s Cups are being recalled from across the country as they were found to be violative of federal laws. Sold in and around the United States, the affected tumblers may contain high levels of lead and could prove to be harmful for growing children.

Announced on November 30, 2023, the voluntary recall exclusively affects 'Double-Walled Stainless Steel Children’s Cups' sold since August 2021. The affected cups contain a solder bead on the lower exterior surface. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), this bead contains levels of lead that far surpass the levels determined by the federal lead content ban.

Lead, being a heavy metal, can be severely harmful for growing children and is known to affect their growth. Recurring contact with the heavy metal can also cause it to accumulate in the body, which could result in cases of lead poisoning. Other severe cases could range from nervous system damage to learning problems and issues with brain development, among other adverse health effects.

The federal agency also fears the lids on the affected cups can break if they fall or tip over. In such cases, the broken lid may produce sharp edges and pieces that could pose risks of lacerations and choking hazards to children. For now, neither the establishment nor the CPSC have received reports about any injuries or other similar adverse effects related to the affected children's cups.
