Incident Overview

According to the incident report filed with the CPSC on May 7, 2026, the consumer had been using Great Value disposable plastic cups since December 2025. The cups were used as intended and typically discarded shortly after use. However, on the day of the incident, the consumer left a cup on the kitchen counter for about an hour. Upon returning, they observed that the inner plastic lining of the cup had detached in both large and small sheets.

The consumer reported that the plastic lining was clear and not visible when liquid was in the cup, meaning the defect could have gone unnoticed for months. The consumer expressed concern that they had been ingesting plastic particles over an extended period. They noted experiencing unexplained illness since starting to use the product, including a visit to the emergency room in March 2026 and subsequent consultations with a cardiologist, none of which yielded a diagnosis. The consumer only discovered the defect on the day of the report.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The detachment of the plastic lining creates a direct risk of ingesting plastic fragments. These fragments can cause choking, irritation, or physical damage to the digestive tract if swallowed.

Long-Term Risks: Chronic ingestion of plastic particles, particularly microplastics, has been associated with potential health effects including inflammation, cellular damage, and accumulation in organs. While research is ongoing, repeated exposure from a defective product over months raises significant health concerns.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using the cups is at risk, especially children who may be more susceptible to the effects of ingested plastics. The defect is invisible during normal use, making it difficult for consumers to detect without close inspection.

Warning Signs: The primary warning sign is visible peeling or flaking of the cup's inner lining after the cup has held liquid for a period. Consumers should inspect cups before and after use for any separation of the lining.
