The £3 cup features a bunny wearing sunglasses, with ears sticking out from the lid.
It poses an injury risk, as users could accidentally be poked in the eye by the pointed ears.
The sought-after Matalan cup does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, according to the government's website.
Shoppers who bought the Bunny Tumbler with Straw are urged to stop using it immediately and return it to their nearest Matalan store for a full refund.

It comes after the retail giant urgently recalled three children's clothing products over a "risk of being strangled".
Matalan made the decision after deciding that a number of boy's swim shorts posed a serious risk to kids.
The recall affects the blue shark rash vest and shorts worth £12 on the website at the time of writing.
The other two products recalled were the seersucker swimshorts in blue and the boys tie dye swimshorts.
Parents were urged to take the faulty items away from little ones and return them "immediately" to a Matalan store.

All three products could cause entrapment and strangulation, warned the retailer.
Matalan stressed that no receipt will be required to claim the refund.
Matalan said: "It has come to our attention that the above boys' swim shorts do not meet our usual high standards for quality and safety, as there is a high possibility of entrapment and strangulation with the draw cord."
The company also urged customers who bought the swimwear as gifts to inform others about the recall notice straight away.
It added: "If you have bought the above for someone else or know someone who has one then please let them know
immediately about this notice."
Matalan apologised for the inconvenience caused to shoppers and confirmed that the recall does not affect any other products.
The retailer added: "We pride ourselves on delivering great quality at great prices, and we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused."
This follows the owners of a dysin gair styling dupe warning shoppers of its danger - with the potential to overheat and/or explode.
