The notice comes shortly after Kmart was forced to recall a batch of popular keep cups earlier this month after one person suffered an injury while using the product.
The ACCC issued a recall notice for the $8 Anko double-walled coffee cups with lids due to safety concerns, with a Kmart spokesperson urging customers to 'immediately stop using the product' and return it to the store for a full refund.
According to the ACCC, users could be at risk of 'serious injury' as the lids have no pressure release valve and can therefore rapidly release and pop off when filled with hot liquid. If this occurs, it puts the user at risk of suffering burns from liquid spills or coming into contact with hot steam.
