The product, in the report: Le Parfait jars are glass jars used for canning. It is a French product made in Auvergne, France and sold by Grove Collaborative, where I purchased them. The jars come in screw top (which doesn’t seem to have the problem) and wire affixed lids (which have the design flaw). They are available in multiple sizes - but the sizes that I had problems with were the 500 ml and the 1.5 liter jars. Manufacturer’s website is https://www.leparfait.com/ , though I purchased mine from https://www.grove.co/catalog/?q=le%20parfait . Another person had the same problem with the the 1 Liter jar, refer to 1 star review - https://www.grove.co/catalog/product/storage-and-canning-glass-jar-1l/?v=8414&attrsrc=18&attrpg=catalog&attrpos=1 .
Over the past year, I purchased seven Le Parfait canning jars, six of which have a wire attached that affixes the lid to the jar. Over the course of the year, I have had several jars mysteriously chip around the rim and only recently made the connection that it is due to a design flaw where the wire is too tight for the grade of glass being used. I happened to be present recently when a jar made a popping noise and a few seconds later, shards of glass fell onto my table. No one was near the jar when this occurred. The lid was tightly in place. I have a photo that clearly shows powdered glass on the wire where it rubbed and how the wire lines up with the area that fractured. I found fragments of glass that chipped off one of my previous jars and fell into the jar, contaminating the food contents. Had I not noticed the chip on the lip of the jar and not had the presence of mind to look inside the jar for fragments, my family could have accidentally ingested the glass shards. The problem is, knowing this jar can fracture just sitting on a counter and knowing my own jars had fragments of glass inside, anyone canning could unknowingly incur this same problem. Prior to the most recent incident where I just happened to be present when the fracture occurred, I wrote it off to manhandling (though I was suspicious something else was going on). It was only the recent incident where I was present when the fracture occurred all on its own, that I realized this is a design flaw of the product. I reported the problem to a middleman provider, Grove Collaborative (where I purchased the jars) on May 31, 2022 and they have yet to respond. I do plan to contact the manufacturer.
