Aussie shoppers, listen up — the popular Anko coffee cups sold nationally at Kmart and Target have just been urgently recalled, and if you’ve got one in your kitchen, it’s time to take action.
The Anko Double-Walled Coffee Cup with Lid, sold between 18 December 2024 and 7 April 2025, has been pulled from shelves due to a serious safety hazard. Available in four trendy colours — Sunset, Sage, Black, and Rose Gold — these cups were a hot item for anyone looking to ditch disposable coffee cups.
But here’s the kicker: they’re not safe to use with hot drinks. Yep — a coffee cup… that’s dangerous when it holds coffee.
Anko Coffee Cup Recall and Why It’s Urgent!
According to Product Safety Australia, the lids on these cups do not have a pressure release valve. When hot liquid is poured in, pressure builds up inside the cup. With nowhere to go, the lid can suddenly pop off, sending steaming liquid flying — and potentially causing serious burns.
At least one injury has already been reported, and now the product has been urgently recalled from all stores across Australia.

Hot Drinks = Hot Danger
This recall is a timely reminder that even everyday items like drinkware can have hidden risks. Burns from hot drinks can cause serious injuries, especially in homes with kids or elderly family members. Always check your reusable cups are designed to safely hold hot liquids, and keep an eye on current recalls.

Final sip:
If you’ve got one of these Anko cups sitting on your desk or in your car — ditch it, refund it, and swap it for something safer. It might’ve looked cute in rose gold, but your skin (and your morning coffee ritual) will thank you.
