They have stopped selling the mugs.

Here's a statement from the management (there are other comments in the post from them, and others)

We have listened and yes we are new to the tiki world. Our intention is not to offend anyone and in business along the way, you do tread on toe and it may come off as intentional and that’s bad business. We’ve pulled all our sales in store and online. We are working with reputable tiki artist to have them design our future mugs. We hope not to disappoint. As for the tiki decor, Austin’s building code is the most rigorous. All wood work must be fire retardant; hence why it is so difficult to have wood in a commercial environment much less in a basement space where you have multiple tenant above you. Again, please know that this is a costly lesson and we are working very hard to regain your trust by hiring tiki artist. We ask anyone reading this to not spam our yelp and google review account. Ethical or unethical, it sends false information about our guest experience and the repair is time consuming. Please, we ask everyone to refrain from making accusation until we have sort the legal with the respective owners. Again, we will reach out to famous tiki artist to design our future mugs, that’s if they can look past our mistake and want to do business with us. Mahalo!
