CNN reports that Nestlé USA is recalling more than 440,000 metallic Starbucks-branded holiday mugs because they can overheat or break when microwaved or filled with extremely hot liquid.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) reported 12 known instances of the mugs overheating or breaking, resulting in nine severe burns and blisters, and a lacerated finger. The CPSC recall may be read HERE.
The holiday mug sets were not solid at Starbucks stores; however, they were sold online and in-store at Target, Walmart and Nexcom, between November 2023 and January 2024.
