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.

Hidden reality behind 'horrendous' prices at Aussie airports revealed: 'Comes at a cost'
Travellers have long complained about the price of food, drink and other items at the airport. It's not uncommon to pay close to $20 for a beer or a simple bacon and egg sandwich while you're waiting for your flight. A poll of more than 2,300 people found 63 per cent of travellers refuse to buy anything airside because it's a "rip off". It's a unique shopping and dining experience unlike the outside world, as you're essentially trapped once you've gone through security and customs. You might automatically think it's because of corporate greed. But, consumer expert Gary Mortimer told Yahoo Finance it's much deeper than that. RELATED 'Hidden' cost of using cash in Australia Centrelink pension warning for 4.3 million Aussies facing super nightmare Rare 50 cent coin sells for $3,050 due to 'unique' reason Aussies rage over $28 cost at the airport for just two items Reid Polak was recently shocked at how much it cost him for a quick and simple meal at an Aussie airport. "I got a burrito and a flat white for $28, and it was terrible," he said. "A 600ml water is $7.50. Just because you can charge more, doesn't mean you should." The revelation sparked fury among other travellers, with many calling out Aussie airports for unfairly imposing higher prices. "You're trapped there. It's horrendous," one person wrote. "How is price gouging okay at the airport but not anywhere else?" added another. Other travellers have similarly been forced to do a double-take when they found out how much simple items would woman said she was charged $35 at Perth Airport for two separate purchases: $11 for a small coffee and bottle of water $24 for two rice paper rolls and a packet of chips If she had bought her meal outside the airport, she would've paid $5.45 for the first purchase, and about $16.05 for the second. Meanwhile, another traveller shared their outrage at being charged $10 for a single slice of banana bread at Melbourne Airport. Mortimer told Yahoo Finance it's easy to blame businesses for being greedy, but outlined the not-so-obvious costs businesses have to contend with to operate at an airport. Airport workers cost much more to onboard The QUT professor said staffing can be a huge cost to cafes, restaurants, and luxury designer brands inside an airport. Airports operate from early morning until late night, seven days a week. This means staff need to be rostered, including on weekends and public holidays. Comparatively, a cafe on the outside might open at 6am and close at 3pm, while a restaurant might open at 5pm and close at midnight. Airports can also be sent into disarray if there's a flight delay or cancellation. As a result, most airport businesses have to have enough staff on at all times to account for these instances. But there is another major consideration. "Imagine having a cafe inside a shopping centre. You can hire people all the time. They can park pretty easily to turn up at work. They can come and go as they please," Mortimer said. "An airport situation, there's security clearances that need to take place for staff, which comes at a cost." Airport workers have to have an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC) to get through the security checkpoints, as well as a national police check. The ASIC card can cost upwards of $240, which is usually the responsibility of the employer. The police check can cost $56, but if you need to give your fingerprints, that price jumps to $113. "When we think about the services sector, there's a high turnover, which means you're constantly having to recruit people for your airport business," Mortimer said. "They have to be security checked before they can go on to airside, which means, if they only last three months and then leave, there's more cost for you to actually put another person back on and go through that whole process again." Sourcing supplies more difficult at an airport The professor said this stringent security requirement for workers is also applied to all the goods that come into the airport each day. They have to be thoroughly screened and the delivery driver also has to be ASIC-certified. These extra steps can cause additional costs that have to be worn by the business. But Mortimer explained that airports can often charge businesses to perform regular audits to ensure all their supplies are up to scratch. "If you're a bistro and you sell meals, there are knives and forks and cutlery that can be used as weapons," he said. "So you need to keep running a tally of those products. If you lose a knife in the kitchen, you need to be able to find it." Not only that, but airports can also demand a percentage of revenue for the privilege of being in a highly sought-after commercial area. The World Tourism Forum said this is what's called "percentage rent", which contributes to vendors jacking up their prices to account for this extra cost. Simon Westaway, Australian Airports Association CEO, told Yahoo Finance that these "complex infrastructure and operations" that affect businesses often result in higher costs. But he stressed that airports across the country have tried to "enhance the passenger experience" by offering a wider range of shopping, dining, and service options.

Awkward restaurant question Aussies 'must' ask as American beef set to hit the market
Aussies are anticipating a major change that may see American beef potentially for sale in supermarkets and being served on plates in our cafes and restaurants. Last week, the government announced it will lift decades-long import restrictions on US beef. As a result, consumers are now being urged to "be brave" and ask one question while dining out: "Where is the beef coming from?" Everyone should make the inquiry when ordering a meal, one concerned Aussie suggested online this week. "We've all got to get really brave about asking cafes, and restaurants, and fast-food places where the beef is coming from," the woman said in a video posted to TikTok. "That's where it's going to end up, where you can't easily check the label. "Of course it's easy in the supermarket to check the label for Australian grown, but that's going to sneak in [in hospitality venues]," she said, admitting it will be an "awkward" question to ask, but absolutely necessary. But those within the beef industry doubt the lifting of the ban will have much impact on consumer purchases and suggest US beef may be scarcely seen in Australian restaurants and supermarkets. Dr Kate Sievert from Deakin University believes it may pop up in fast-food chains and prepackaged meals. "It's more likely to be used in specific segments of the food system, so areas like food service, particularly in fast-food service or ultra-processed products like ready meals," she told The Guardian. "The US relies a lot more on confined animal feeding operations where it's cheaper to produce." This doesn't necessarily mean US beef will outcompete Australian grown beef, as most niche or exclusive beef products produced by the US are already available in Australia, and the Australian market has more than enough supply from Australian farmers. More than 99 per cent of the beef available in Australian hospitality venues and supermarkets are currently sourced from the country, according to Meat & Livestock Australia. US beef unlikely to be a cheaper alternative for Australians, experts say Consumer expert Gary Mortimer also told Yahoo News he doesn't see lifting the ban on US imports as a threat to Australia's beef producers. "I genuinely don't believe that you will see restaurants and hospitality [venues] seeking to buy US beef over the domestic product," he said. "I think by the time the US applies logistics costs to get the product from the US across into Australia, you're not going to see a cheaper product in restaurants or on supermarket shelves." However, Mortimer said the idea of restaurant patrons questioning the source of beef is a sound approach. "I would encourage patrons to ask that question. The same goes for seafood," he told Yahoo. Regulations have recently been introduced to Australian consumer laws, meaning hospitality venues are required to state where seafood is sourced, and this has been suggested as a viable approach for beef after the decision sparked unrest among those in the cattle and livestock industry. Australia's beef industry has been in the spotlight ever since Donald Trump singled it out on April 2, a day he coined "Liberation Day" and announced reciprocal tariffs for countries the US has a trade relationship with. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has denied the recent announcement about restrictions being lifted for US beef was made to appease Trump, and was part of a trade deal to keep tariffs on Australian exports into US low. The Coalition has pushed for a Senate Inquiry into the government's decision to allow US beef to be imported into Australia. 😟 Woman's sad admission about travelling to Trump's US amid 'scary' crackdown 🛒 Expat's supermarket find in China reveals Aussie 'advantage' over US 👀 Trump has pulled back from the highest tariffs Australian beef regarded as the best in the world Australian beef is widely regarded as the best in the world due to its quality, safety and traceability. American expat Garrett, who currently resides in Shanghai, recently told Yahoo News he "trusts Australia more than America with the quality of beef". "From what I understand, food quality standards and regulations in the US are comparatively lower, and the use of chemicals and additives in cattle feed and meat processing is a concern for me," he said. "Overall, I trust Australia's regulatory approach, which seems to prioritise quality and safety over profit." Australia banned beef from the US in 2003 after the fatal disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease, was detected in American cattle. Despite the ban being lifted in 2019, restrictions still stood firm regarding beef that was sourced from Canada or Mexico, but slaughtered in the US and later exported out of the country. After a decade-long biosecurity review by the government, it was announced that this produce would once again be permitted in Australia. Do you have a story tip?
