Plain-English summary

HALO Branded Solutions Inc., of Sterling, Illinois, is recalling about 60,000 reusable plastic tumblers with metal straws. The tumblers come in four styles: "The Mermaid" (pink/green), "Island Surf" (blue/yellow), "Sailor Breeze" (tan/orange), and "The Galaxy" (blue/pink), each with a tan lid and marked with "Wawa" imprint. All recalled units are 24 ounces in size.

The metal straw included with the tumbler can cut the mouth and fingers, posing a laceration hazard. HALO has received four reports of incidents resulting in four laceration injuries to the hand and mouth.

The tumblers were sold exclusively at Wawa stores in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. during August 2024 for approximately $13 per unit.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled metal straw and contact HALO for a free replacement silicone straw (after returning the metal straw), or return both the tumbler and metal straw for a $15 gift card refund.
