Starbucks recalls China-made cups
11 October 2007
Starbucks recalled 250,000 children's plastic cups made in China, Reuters reported. The world's biggest coffee shop chain said it received reports of the cups breaking and posing a choking hazard. Specifically, it received two reports of children choking on a piece of the broken cup, though no injuries were reported. The cups, plastic 10-ounce receptacles with lids, were sold for US$6 apiece at Starbucks stores in the US from May 2006 to August 2007. Starbucks is offering a free drink as an incentive for consumers to return the recalled cups.
