Target Bunny Sippy Cup Recall Issued After Injury Reports
About 264,000 Target bunny sippy cups have been recalled from store shelves following reports that suggest the design may cause young children to suffer eye injuries from poking themselves with one of the ears.
The Target sippy cup recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on April 26, after Target received at least six reports of incidents where children stuck themselves in the eye during normal use.
The problem appears to be with the rabbit shape of the cups, which include a pair of long, rigid ears. One of the ears points straight up and children can accidentally stick that part of the cup into their eye while trying to drink out of it, according to the CPSC.
