Hello: I’m writing about a product that could potentially harm consumers. My husband and I bought the “Progressive Microwave Breakfast Egg Maker” on 8/28/23 from a Container Store. We have followed the product instructions and have repeatedly had issues, trying to make eggs in our home microwave. First of all the lid will pop off in the microwave when cooking causing the egg to fly all over the place. Secondly, the most hazardous issue is that after removing the product from The microwave after cooking and taking off the lid, the egg can explode right into your face and eyes. We have had this happens 3 times now, trying to make sure we weren’t doing something incorrectly, and have decided we cannot use the product anymore. There is not a disclaimer on the packaging saying this, only that the product can be hot and beware of steam. This product should not be available to anyone! Thank you.

I had an 8 cup Pyrex measuring cup explode in my dishwasher. I think my explosion experience is different from most of the others I have read. I had a 2 quart measuring cup explode in the dishwasher a few days ago. The cup had completely cooled, I was reaching to pull it out of the dishwasher and had just touched the side of it when it shattered into pieces sending shards all around the kitchen, fortunately I only suffered two minor cuts to my fingers, more fortunately I was the only one in my kitchen at the time. This pyrex was at room temperature when it exploded! Unfortunately I did think to take pictures or save the glass. I can assure you it was Pyrex, I had used it to make pancake batter, there was no stovetop heat, used my normal dishwashing cycle, etc. I have reported the incident to World Kitchen. I am not hopeful of a serious response from World Kitchen, most of the responses I have read blame the consumer, and use the "small percentage" of explosions as proof of the overall safety. I intend to ask them point blank, what level of consumer injury is considered too much?

I cut my fingers on several different occasions using the Martha Stewart silicon cooking spatula, because the chrome seams and grommet chip and flake over time, making the edges very sharp.

On August 26, 2011, I used a 2-cup glass Pyrex measuring cup to melt butter in my micrwave. I put 1 stick of butter in the cup, covered it with a paper towel and set the timer for 20 seconds. Part way through the timed cycle, the glass shattered in the microwave. The cup was used periodically over the previous days to heat water for tea. The cup was filled with 2 cups of water and heated for 3 minutes, then removed to the counter where tea bags were steeped to make the tea. No problems occurred with that use. The cup was noted as microwave safe. After reading the October issue of Consumer Reports, I realized I should report this incident.

It is hard to see in the picture, but the metal blade of my my Pampered Chef spreader actually cut through the plastic and came back at my hand. I felt the plastic break and was able to move my hand fast enough that the metal blade did not cut me. I briefly looked at this site and could not find other complaints on this item, but I am worried that it could hurt others if this was to happen to them. Have there been other incidents with this product? Can I return this item?

During installation into a wood piece I was making, while sitting still, the neodymium bar magnets purchased at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0181LX5Q0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, where breaking and shattering at random intervals sending small parts with sharp points, sharp edges, and very strong magnetic forces all over the room. These pieces were the since of small neodymium spheres, except they were covered in sharp points and edges. While picking them up, the sharp edges and sharp points gave me lots of deep scratches and scraps and removing all magnetic splinters was difficult due to the strength of the magnets.

pyrex® exploded while cooling on cotton pad after making microwave oatmeal. I now understand that this isn't the borosilicate glass that we grew up with, but they should be required to reveal that before we buy it.

I was using the Norpro Jelly Strainer Stand to strain my grapes because I was canning grape jelly. I tried several bowls to set it on (it has 3 long metal legs that fit over the edge of the bowl) before finding one that seemed like the strainer was steady on. The box says the product can be used with different size bowls because the legs bend. I used a bowl similar to the one in the picture. As I was carefully ladling the boiling hot grape pulp in to the strainer, it slipped/tipped over onto my arm. I had to hold still, while the grapes were burning my arm, until my husband could grab it so that more of the boiling grapes didn't pour down the front of me. I received 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns. I purchased this at my local Wilco Farm Store. Afterwards I looked up the reviews on [REDACTED] and saw that the wobbly legs are an ongoing problem. I contacted Norpro and they claim that this was the first time they had ever heard of a problem with this product.
