Kmart Recalls Coffee Cup After Burn Injury Risk Sends Urgent Warning
Hey everyone, I just came across a serious safety update that I think needs to be talked about—especially if you're someone who grabs their morning coffee in a reusable cup from Kmart or Target. So here's the deal: Kmart has issued an urgent recall on one of their popular Anko-branded double-walled coffee cups, and honestly, it's something to take seriously.
These cups, which come in four colors—sunset, sage, black, and rose gold—were sold between December 18, 2024, and April 7, 2025. They’ve now been pulled off the shelves due to a significant design flaw. The issue? When filled with hot liquid, the lid can suddenly and forcefully pop off. There’s no pressure release valve, which means steam builds up inside, and when it finally releases, it can spray hot liquid directly onto the user. That’s exactly what happened to at least one person, who ended up getting injured.

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has confirmed the danger and urged people to stop using the cup immediately. It’s not just a minor inconvenience—this kind of malfunction can cause serious burns or injuries, and nobody needs that first thing in the morning while sipping their coffee. It doesn’t matter if you bought it in-store or online, or even if you’ve gifted it to someone—everyone is being asked to either return it or contact the retailer.
Kmart and Target are offering full refunds, no receipt needed, which shows how seriously they're treating this. They’ve also made it clear that if you’ve passed the cup on to someone else, they still want to help get it off the market. This isn’t one of those recalls that can wait until your next shopping trip—it’s the kind you act on right away.
So, if you or anyone you know owns one of those stylish Anko coffee cups, now’s the time to check the cupboard. It’s always great to see companies take responsibility, but it’s even better when we, as consumers, stay alert and protect ourselves and others. Safety first—coffee can wait.
