Yikes. We use reusable plastic straws. Still rigid but not metal. I wonder if they could cause the same time of injury? Freak accident so I’m not getting rid of them, just curious.

Straws are supposed to be bad for birds.

What an unforeseen hazard though!

So so scary. We don’t have any of these but if I did I would toss them immediately.


What kind of an idiot would give a metal straw to a child or bedridden person! Paper straws are available.

We also use silicone for this reason. Some accidents in life are unavoidable but this is such an easy switch.

A remember hearing a story a few years back about how an adult woman tripped and punctured her eye with one. I believe it also entered her brain and she died.

I got silicone ones that open up to wash them and they’re so much better. Safer and they get cleaner.

That’s mind-blowing. What amazing work by the doctors. I picked up some silicone straws to have reusable ones. Mainly because I liked the colors - never thought about the danger from metal ones. How horrific.
