Check your cupboards.  More than 55,000 Fantastic Four and Captain America cups sold at movie theaters across the country last year have been recalled due to button cell batteries being easily accessible by children and posing injury risk if swallowed.

Dig deeper:

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says the cups violate the standard warning labels for products with button cell and coin batteries and can be easily accessed by children and pose serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death if ingested.

What we know:

The CPSC says the recall involves Fantastic Four Invisible Woman and Human Torch Drinking Cups and Captain America Popcorn Helmet Containers with LED lights. 

The Fantastic Four Cups were sold at AMC movie theaters nationwide from March 2025 through April 2025 for about $15. 

The Captain America Popcorn Helmet Containers were sold nationwide from February through August 2025 for about $30 at AMC Theaters, Cobb Theaters, Drive in Group, El Capitan EVO Cinemas, Goldenlink, GQT Movies, Harkins, Independent Theatre, Maya Cinemas, Reading, West Wind, Escape and Zurich Group theaters.

Consumers will be asked to dispose of the product and send a photo showing proof of disposal to productrecall@goldenlinkinc.com to receive a refund.
