Composite verdict

Composite Safety Score: 41/100

One verdict blending 4 independently-sourced dimensions from two separate CPSC systems, each benchmarked against all 838 scored product categories by percentile rather than raw value, so no single huge-volume category can dominate the scale.

C
Dimension Value National percentile Weight applied Source
Injury severity (hospitalization + fatality blend) 2 13th 35% CPSC NEISS 20-year severity index

Methodology: each dimension is ranked against the full population's p10/p25/p50/p75/p90 breakpoints and interpolated to a 0-100 percentile; the composite is the weighted average of available percentiles. See methodology for the full benchmark table.

How this 33/100 score is built

The score is computed from four CPSC-derived factors for other glass bottles or jars - no opinion, no editorializing:

  • Injury volume 5,602 ER visits/yr Above median volume
  • Severity (hospitalization rate) 1.9% Low admission rate
  • Fatality rate 0.00% No recorded fatalities
  • 5-year trend-32%

What the CPSC Data Shows

Across the 20-year NEISS window from 2005 to 2024, injury counts for other glass bottles or jars are declining by about 32% over the last five years, with the busiest year on record being 2005 (7,311 estimated ER visits) and the quietest 2023 (3,224 estimated visits). The single most common ER diagnosis is laceration to the finger, accounting for approximately 22,466 visits across the 20-year NEISS window, followed by laceration to the hand (17,301 cases). The 15-24 age group absorbs the largest share of injuries, about 22,416 cases over the NEISS window, and males appear slightly more often than the opposite sex in that cohort. Severity outcomes from the NEISS disposition field show that 1.9% of ER visits involving this product end in hospital admission or transfer.

Beyond the hospital-sampled NEISS projections, this page also aggregates 62 consumer incident reports filed directly on SaferProducts.gov, plus 20 anonymized ER narratives - together forming a layered picture of how other glass bottles or jars fail in real households. Every figure on this page comes from CPSC-published data: NEISS projects national estimates from a probability sample of about 100 U.S. hospital emergency departments, while SaferProducts.gov collects voluntary reports from consumers, manufacturers, and clinicians. The danger score, trend indicators, and demographic breakdowns update automatically when CPSC releases a new yearly NEISS file, which is why this page is dated 2024-12-31.

Consumer Incident Reports

Reports filed by consumers on SaferProducts.gov.

9/9/2014 · Incident, No Injury · Walden Farms, Inc · California

When I twisted open the top of the glass jar of my Walden Farms thousand island dressing, the top quarter-inch of the glass twisted off, inside the top, leaving a ragged edge and slivers of glass that fell into the dressing. This happened about two months ago. I wrote to the manufacturer (which offered me a $3 refund coupon), and to the distributor (Vita-Cost), which did not respond. It happened AGAIN today. Again, there was glass that fell into the dressing. Not a good thing.

9/5/2018 · Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received · Starbucks Coffee Company · California

The consumer indicates that he has purchased four of the same Starbucks glass drinking bottles and three have already broken. The consumer states that two of them were dropped however one of them shattered when his wife lightly banged the drinking bottle against a coffee mug she was carrying on her other hand. The consumer believes that the products are hazardous because aside from shattering easily, they also break into “millions of pieces.” The consumer indicates that her granddaughter dropped one of the drinking bottles and had a sliver of glass stuck in her foot, which the consumer removed successfully. The consumer contacted the retailer and explained the situation. The representative he spoke to informed him that there was nothing she could do about the matter and advised him to submit an online complaint; the consumer has yet to receive a response. The consumer notes that the drinking bottles come with a machine washable fabric sleeve; and are used every other day on average. The consumer plans on keeping his glass bottle for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

9/25/2024 · Incident, No Injury · Health-Ade LLC · New York

Purchased several 16-ounce glass bottles of Health-Ade Kombucha (Health-Ade LLC; www.health-ade.com). Kombucha is a bubbly product, and can develop high pressure when mixed or heated. Placed bottles in cool spot in house (our dumbwaiter). Later day, returned to dumbwaiter, and found that one bottle of pineapple-flavored kombucha had exploded. Explosion of glass bottles is dangerous, and incident is alarming because bottles had been undisturbed and kept cool. Bottles should be strong enough to withstand pressures commonly generated, but this was not the case here.

9/16/2024 · Injury, Emergency Department Treatment Received · Nestle · Washington

Caller stated that while opening the baby food jar it shattered, the piece of the glass that broke off caused lacerations to her right index finger. She went to the [REDACTED] emergency room in Longview WA where she received stitches and was released for follow up with her physician. Caller stated that the manufacturer was not contacted as yet, she stated that she is still enduring pain and difficulty using her hand.

8/5/2025 · No Incident, No Injury · KeaWorld LLC · California

I've been using the KeaBabies glass jars and plastic lids since 3/2025 to keep baby food in. The product indicates it is dishwasher safe, to be safe I always place the jars and lids on top rack, farther away from heating element. I opened my dishwasher today and one of the glass jars was in 2 pieces, caused by heat stress. The company indicated in an email that that is bound to happen if you place these in the dishwasher. The company seems to be aware of this issue with their product, as the company indicated in their email to me, doubly, I could have very easily sliced my hand or fingers taking this item out of the dishwasher. The jars have only been used for 5 months.

Ginger shots on sale at meijers , I was driving home when a bottle exploded in my car front seat, it was in the plastic bag, I opened and it was exploding as if to much gas in it When I got home I took out the bag because of the liquid that spilled from the 1 that exploded and I placed in sink and went to turn cap when it popped open in my left hand injuring my index finger and it hurts and turning blue like a bruise

8/30/2024 · Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received · Target · Indiana

We purchased a Threshold Brand food storage glass jar and stored strawberries in it. We've only been using it for about a week and have been gentle with it. Well, the product doesn't have a seal. I didn't think too much of it. My girlfriend opened the jar, and ate a few strawberries. Then she felt a sharp pain in her finger. Turns out the glass is shaving off into the food. It doesn't take a lot of force for the jar to do this. I'm thankful she didn't ingest any of the small shards, but honestly I'm worried that someone else may have bought these jars and used them for food. What happens if they ingest the fragile glass shavings that these jars seem to produce. I don't think I'm the only one who's had this issue because there are reviews on the Target website that also complain about these shavings.

8/17/2023 · Incident, No Injury · Weesprout · California

I used the Weesprout glass baby food jar. It claimed to be microwave safe. I put the carrot puree in the jar in the microwave for 4 minutes. The jar came up with cracks all across the bottom and all round the jar. Luckily it didn't shatter. I didn't put the jar directly from the fridge to the microwave. I didn't put the lid in the microwave.
