Approximately 60,000 beverage tumblers sold at Wawa locations have been recalled because of a potential injury risk associated with their metal straws. According to a notice from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the straws of these tumblers may cause cuts to users' mouths or fingers. The commission says that four injuries have been reported thus far.

Consumers are strongly advised to cease using the hazardous straws immediately. They are encouraged to contact Halo Branding Solutions, the distributor based in Illinois, for a silicone straw replacement. Additionally, customers have the option to return their tumblers for a $15 gift card refund. It is important for consumers to note that these products should not be returned to Wawa stores. Further details on how to proceed can be found on Halo's website.

The affected tumblers, available in four styles, were introduced exclusively at Wawa convenience stores in Alabama, Washington DC, Delaware, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland this past August. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
