QuoteMetal drinking straw warning after death of woman impaled through eye

Metal straws should be used with caution, a coroner has said, after a retired jockey died when she fell onto one which impaled her eye and caused a traumatic brain injury.
Elena Struthers-Gardner, 60, was carrying a mason-jar style drinking glass with a screw-top lid in her kitchen in Poole, Dorset, when she collapsed.
The 10ins stainless steel straw entered her left eye socket and pierced her brain.
Today a coroner said metal drinking straws should never be used with a lid that fixes them in place, and "great care should be taken" while using them.
The eco-friendly straws have increased in popularity as a replacement for single-use plastic straws as part of the fight against plastic waste.

It's supposed to be an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Obviously it's not that friendly :dead:
