The product, in the report: Hefty plastic drinking cups. 18oz. 50 count. color green.
I had purchased 50 count, 18 oz, Hefty plastic drinking cups, in green for a party I was having. Myself, my girlfriend, our son, and all our guests were drinking out of these cups. The next day, as I was drinking out of one of the cups, I got something stuck in my throat. I was able to cough it up and it was a long “shred” of plastic. I then looked through the rest of the package of cups and removed several more pieces of plastic from the inside of the cups. I saved the pieces and wrote a letter to the Reynolds company. I plan on sending the letter along with the bag of plastic pieces, but wanted to contact you first. I have brought the unused portion of the cups back to the store and received my money back for them. When I had purchased them, I had bought a package of black and a package of green, the black ones did not appear to be faulty, only the green. I have purchased these same cups in the past and never had this issue before.
