I was using a new basic KitchenAid mixer with an KitchenAid bowl made for the mixer that was purchased separately. The bowl is constructed from two components, a plastic base that connects to the mixer and a glass mixing bowl. During use the bowl disengaged from the plastic base and bowl began swinging chaotically around the mixer paddle until I was able to pull the cord out of the wall. After looking at reviews of this product on [REDACTED] I see two issues. First this decoupling problem has happened many times and second the bowls break easily. In my mind someone could get hurt badly if the bowl happened to break as a result of decoupling. KitchenAid has discontinued this product, but takes a very cavalier attitude to the problem when I described the problem and asked for a replacement. In my mind they are aware of the issue and redesigned it, however they don't take seriously the potential for injury.

GoldCoast 3 bowl set. Red with a shinny "chromelike" finish. I left one of these bowls on my back porch with some recently picked produce in the bowl. In short order the leaves of lettuce were smoking. The bowl focused the light to such a point in started to burn the lettuce. I later went to check the other two bowls one of which was sitting on my table with a small paper bag in it. My son picked it up and noticed a burn hole right threw the paper bag. These bowls are dangerous. I can only imagine how many fires might or have been started by these bowls. I'd hate to know someone died or went to jail because of these bowls.

Sitting at kitchen table and heard an explosion in a kitchen cupboard. Started investigating and found a glass bowl shattered in a kitchen cupboard. Immediately looked at open window and screen to see if stray bullet had come into house. (No bullet hole found in screen, window, or cupboard door). This bowl was the top bowl in a stack of three. The bowl immediately below it was of the same type and size. The bottom bowl was larger and held the other two bowls. In addition the bottom bowl contained the majority of the shards. The event was so unusual that I took pictures and a few days later posted them on facebook. Looked at damage and determined that a glass bowl had shattered on the top shelf throwing sharp shards as far away as the bottom shelf. The bowl that shattered primary use was for heating materials in the microwave. This bowl hadn't been used for a least a three days and sat undisturbed in the cupboard for that amount of time. The cupboard was room temperature and is not heated or cooled. The dish was approximately 2 years old. (We have several that were purchased in the same time frame and had no evidence of damage prior to the explosion.) It was manufactured by Anchor Ovenware and is a 20oz Casserole dish. After this event I remembered reading about breaking glassware somewhere. About a week later, I ran across the article in consumer's reports. The article though dealt with breakage during use. This dish however was not in use and the noise was loud like an explosion.

I have a set of 8 nesting glass bowls by Anchor Hocking. They are approximately 6 years old. In July of this year the largest bowl (the bottom one in which the others sit) shattered while in the cupboard. None of the bowls had been used in at least a week. They were not being moved. They were in the cubboard with the door closed when I heard a crash from three rooms away. I thought that something had fallen off another shelf. When I opened the cupboard I realized that the bowl had not only shattered but appeared to have almost exploded as glass shards were everywhere in the cubboard, up to almost 12 inches away and inside other dishes about 10 inches away.

This set of 5 stainless steel were manufactured with sharp,irregular edges on the under side of the rims of the bowls. This was first noticed upon first washing prior to use. The sponge used to wash the bowls was cut by the sharp edge. I didn't think much of it at the time,other than to make a mental note to not cut my fingers with it when I next washed them, and also that it was an example of poor quality workmanship that should have been arrested before it left the factory floor. The last time I washed on of them however, the sponge was again cut, so I more closely examined the bowl and found two slivers of metal sticking under the rim. This was on the smallest of the set. I also found more sharp rough edges on several of the other bowls in the set.I am now reporting this hazard, in the hopes it will prevent consumers of this product from being injured.

We were mixing raw salmon and pre-cooked vegetables in a 4 quart Pyrex mixing bowl. The veggies and salmon had been mixed well together to make salmon cakes. It was at least ten minutes after any temperature changes had been made in the bowl and the bowl had not been touched in at least 3 minutes and the bowl untouched exploded on the counter top. The food was ruined and glass went everywhere. The explosion was very loud. Glass flew 8 ft.

While on the Dinner table the Pyrex Bowl exploaded

I was in my dining room, which is adjacent to my kitchen, when I heard what sounded like an explosion in my kitchen. I looked into my kitchen and saw large shards of a glass Pyrex bowl on my kitchen counter top beneath the cabinet my bowls were stored in. I opened the cabinet, and the larger of my nesting set of Pyrex bowls (Pyrex Smart Essentials with lids) had apparently exploded. It had been in the cabinet, along with the other bowls with it, for at least several days so this wasn't a sudden temperature change related issue. The bowl is one of a set of four Pyrex bowls I purchased within the last year from Kohls. They came as a boxed set with lids. I purchased three of these sets, one for each of my sons, and one for myself. Had I been near it when this happened, I could have had a piece of glass explode into one of my eyes. There were bits of glass all inside the cabinet and the force of the explosion was strong enough to open my cabinet doors. Since I was not near the cabinets, I was not immediately injured. However, I did get several shards of glass in my fingers while trying to carefully clean up the broken glass. These bowls are extremely dangerous and need to be recalled.
