    The product, in the report: Zak Designs Campout and Camping Kelso Tumbler Set, Leak-Proof Screw-On Lid with Straw, Bundle for Kids Includes Plastic and Stainless Steel Cups with Bonus Sipper, 3pc Set, Non-BPA,15 fl oz

    My nephew had high levels of lead, so I tested the same metal tumblers that my son had been gifted for his 1st birthday. The swab showed lead was detected. Zak! metal tumblers were the product used by my nephew to drink from and his systemic lead levels were elevated. I swabbed our Zak! Stainless steel tumblers and they also showed lead was detected. No injuries, I threw out the tumblers before my son could use them. My nephew has elevated levels of lead.

  3. Emergency room

    Made Feb 3, 2022, sent to the company Feb 8, 2022, published by CPSC Feb 23, 2022

    The product, in the report: The product is a Zak brand, 16 oz, plastic reusable sippy cup with a handle on the lid and the Toy Story characters (Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Ducky, Bunny, and Bo Peep) around the cup. Product dimensions are as follows (LxWxH) : ?8.19 x 4.02 x 2.72 inches. No serial number or other numbers could be found regarding this product.

    To whom it may concern,

    My 3 year old son has a Zak brand Toy Story themed cup with a silicone mouthpiece that attaches to the straw. He bit down on this silicone piece 1/16/2022 and it broke a plastic piece inside the silicone mouthpiece. The silicone simultaneously ripped and he swallowed the piece that broke. This resulted in an ER visit as per the triage nurse’s instructions when I called to check what needed to do to keep him safe, as well as a follow up appointment with his pediatrician 1/20/2022. Thankfully he is ok and it did not cause any damage that we know of thus far. However, this is a design flaw that should result in this product and any made in this way to be pulled from shelves. I am writing per my doctor’s request. He said Zak needed to be informed so that other children who might not be as healthy would not have this happen to them with different results. Worst of all for my son was losing his favorite Buzz cup. Worst for me was the panic of a child swallowing a dangerous jagged piece of plastic that I had no knowledge of it being where it was. My doctor stated it was a weak point in the design and from an engineering standpoint he is correct. Prior to this, I was unaware the silicone mouthpiece contained plastic at all or I would not have purchased the product. I have since sent an email and left a voicemail with Zak Designs and have not heard back. On a second follow-up doctor visit, our doctor advised us to reach out to this organization.
