The health agency warns that exposure to lead can lead to a range of serious health effects including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, and adverse impacts on the heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths.

The recall involves CUPKIN 8 oz (236.6 mL) and 12 oz (354.9 mL) double-walled stainless steel children's cups sold as pairs in 12 different colour combinations with a matching coloured straw.

The cups were manufactured in China, and were sold in Canada from January 2018 to March 2023. Only a dozen were sold in the country, and there have been no reported incidents or injuries in the country related to these products, according to the notice.

The health agency asks consumers to immediately stop using the cups and contact the CUPKIN Company for a full refund.
