LAOION Children's Cups Recalled for Lead Content and Lid Hazards

LAOION children's cups sold on Amazon contain lead in solder on the cup bottom and have lids that can crack, creating choking and laceration risks. About 200 units were sold from March to May 2023.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Lead exceeds federal limits on a product marketed to children, presenting a known toxicity risk. Although no illnesses have been reported, lead contamination in children's products is inherently high-risk per regulatory standards. The additional mechanical hazard (sharp edges, choking from cracked lid) elevates concern in the absence of reported injury.

Plain-English summary

LAOION Children's Cups, 8 oz models sold in four-packs with matching silicone straws and spill-proof lids, are being recalled due to two safety hazards. The stainless-steel cups were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between March 2023 and May 2023 for approximately $24 per pack.

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

Approximately 200 units were distributed. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately remove the cups from children, stop using them, and contact LAOION for a full refund. LAOION and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly. Consumers may reach LAOION by email at [email protected] or through their Amazon storefront.
