I recently purchased a set of Bodum 12 oz Pavina double wall insulated tumblers. They are made of borosilicate glass and reported to be able to use with hot or cold beverages. I was drinking a glass of ice water from one of the numbers and was almost finished when I noticed that there was water in between the double walls of glass. Upon further inspection I found a dime sized hole in the bottom and glass fragments floating inside the wall. I am not sure if I drank any of the fragments or not.

Sun's Tea Double Walled Ice Tea Glass 20 oz. 9/1/2012 Cold ice tea was poured over ice in this glass and the glass exploded after making a loud popping sound about 5 minutes later. The explosion perimeter was approximately 6 feet in diameter.

I was unloading the dishwasher and a Duralex glass tumbler got tapped lightly against the counter. I checked it for chips and cracks and, finding none, placed the tumbler on a shelf in the cupboard. Leaving the cupboard door open, I continued unloading the dishwasher. After a few seconds, the tumbler exploded, sending hundreds of pieces of glass flying around the kitchen and even into the next room. Fortunately no one was injured.

My 4 year old son was drinking from his Contigo cup (most closely resembling the AUTOSPOUT® Straw Gizmo Flip - Blue) recently and fortunately he noticed something in his mouth. He spit out the rubber piece shown in IMG_20180902_092852772.jpg. This piece came out while he was drinking and is clearly a choking hazard. This should be investigated from a perspective of potentially issuing a recall, due to the risk to children.

RE: File [REDACTED] (Refer to this number when contacting our agency) Dollar Tree Stores Inc 500 Volvo Pkwy Chesapeake VA 23320-1604 Dear [REDACTED] After further review of your complaint about Dollar Tree Stores Inc. it has been determined that the laws dealing with this issue are enforced by the agency listed below, so we are forwarding your complaint directly to them. We will continue to hold the package of glasses you submitted as part of your complaint file. Your complaint is being forwarded to: US CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I purchased 2 insulated glasses at this store. After washing them, they both had water inside the inner and outer portions of the glass. If the dirty, contaminated wash water can get in the glass during washing, it can also come out in your mouth while drinking. I feel that this is a serious health hazard. I went back to the store to make them aware of the problem, and they could not have cared less. They said I could exchange them. I contacted Dollar Tree Corporate, but they have not had the courtesy of responding. Obviously they don't care either. I certainly hope that any of their other customers that purchased these glasses do not get sick or worse. I still have the glasses if anyone wants to see them.

I purchased a set of 6 MJOD beer glasses from IKEA in East Palo Alto, CA approximately 1 month ago. In the course of washing these glasses, 3 of them broke over the following weeks when placing the glass in the drying rack, usually because of a slight bump to another dish. On 2 of these occasions, a piece of the top rim broke off, and until you used the glass to drink, you were not aware the glass was even cracked, because an entire top circular piece broke off, leaving a rough, dangerous new rim on top. It appears that these glasses have glass that is much too thin to take any kind of regular consumer usage. Then, last Sunday, September 18th, I was washing one of these glasses, with my left hand partially inside the glass with a sponge cleaning the inside, when the entire glass exploded, severely cutting my thumb and releasing a large quantity of blood. I rushed down to the Stanford Emergency Room, but because the wait was so long (and I was concerned whether my insurance would be excepted by them), I moved to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Urgent Care. There, I needed 5 stitches to close the wound.

Duralex Picardie Glassware. Purchased from William Sonoma in 2006. I’ve had 2 glasses spontaneously explode in the last two weeks. The first time, I was simply picking up the glass when it shattered. The second time was similar, except it was my son and he cut his hands on the glass (minor cut, nothing major). The glass went flying everywhere. I am so thankful it didn’t land in his eye. I read up on tempered glass and learned that manufacturing defects can cause exploding glass 10-20 years later. Mine are 15 years old. It seems odd that 2 would explode out of nowhere within the same timeframe. I’m concerned there was a manufacturing defect in my batch of glasses. The photo I attached shows the glass that shattered. It fell into the dishwasher. To be clear, there was no temperature change when the glass shattered. The glass was at room temp and just happened to shatter over the open dishwasher.

While drinking out of a skull sipper cup from Walmart, the plastic straw splintered into my three year old's mouth.
