Product name | Children's Tumbler Cups |
Description | The tumbler cup is constructed of translucent plastic in the shape of a bear with the words "Bearista Bear" printed on the front. The cup was sold in both blue and green. The cup has a screw-on lid in the shape of a bear's head, from which a soft, flexible straw protrudes. The product's lid can rotate such that the straw attachment can be bent (closed) to prevent liquid from leaking out. |
Problem | When the flexible straw on the cups is chewed, small pieces of plastic can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. |
