Starbucks recalls stainless-steel straws on reports of cuts

Starbucks issued the recall Tuesday after receiving three reports of mouth lacerations in young children who used the stainless steel straws.

Consumers should not allow children to use the straws, which are rigid and pose a risk of injury, the coffee chain said in a statement.
