NÜTRL Tumbler Cup is being recalled in Canada for possible chemical and ingestion hazards. The problem is that some of the tumblers may contain a chemical solution that is trapped between the inner walls of the tumbler, which contains some levels of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. This solution may release when the tumbler is filled with liquid, posing a potential risk of serious injury. The recalling firm is Sun Coast Merchandise Corp. doing business as Sunscope.
The interaction between the solution and the tumbler may also result in elevated levels of iron, chromium, and nickel.
