Promotional cups given as gifts in some Canadian stores when purchasing NÜTRL alcoholic beverages are being recalled because they may pose a risk to your health.
Promotional materials are manufactured by Sunscope.
“Testing conducted by Sunscope revealed that some cups may have a chemical cleaning solution trapped between their inner walls, containing levels of sulfuric and phosphoric acids,” NÜTRL Canada said in a statement.
The company explains that the interaction between the chemical cleaning solution, which can be released when the cup is filled with liquid, and the cup “can lead to high levels of iron, chromium and nickel.”
The statement said: “Ingestion of these substances has been associated with various adverse effects, such as burns of the lips, tongue, throat, stomach and other tissue damage, in addition to nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea.”
If these substances come into contact with the skin, they can also cause blisters or burns.
According to Global News, Sunscope has received reports of at least 43 cases of customers experiencing various symptoms after using the recalled cups.
NÜTRL Canada asks consumers to immediately stop using this product and contact them at 1 (866) 846-1778 or by email at [email protected].
