Zak Designs is recalling approximately 178,000 plastic 26-ounce water bottles sold exclusively at Target. The inner plastic straw in the flip-top portion of the cap can break into small pieces, posing a choking hazard. There have been nine reports of the straws breaking, including seven instances where children spit out plastic fragments while using the bottles. These 10-inch-tall bottles feature popular characters like Minions, Spiderman, and Star Wars and were sold during a "Back-to-College" promotion.
The internal plastic straw can fracture during use, causing small plastic fragments to enter the user's mouth, which poses a serious choking risk to children. Nine incidents of breakage have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Zak Designs for instructions on receiving a free replacement cap with straw.
