The product, in the report: 3 Quart Slow Cooker, white

Today (Dec 29, 2011) I bought a slow cooker from AAFES , Camp Zama, Japan. I brought it home, unpacked it and washed it (crock and lid) by hand in my sink with warm soapy water. Immediately after rinsing the lid, as I was reaching over to set the lid aside to drain, it exploded in my hand. Shards of glass went all over my sink. I received 1 minor cut on my hand. The shards were very sharp and could have caused significant injury had they gone into my eyes.
This is a 3 quart slow cooker with the label “ Simply Perfect “ (“for the home”)

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/23/2012) CE NORTH AMERICA, LLC: From the description the consumer provides, she did not find the glass lid to be defective or broken before washing it. But, the consumer claims it exploded after using warm soapy water. It’s a very strange thing that the warm soapy water (how hot it was) can cause the glass with 5mm thickness to explode. Our slow cookers are UL-listed, which means they have to pass a variety of tough UL testing requirements, including the glass impact test. Such glass can withstand the impact produced by dropping or swinging a steel sphere, 2 inches in diameter and weighing 1.18 pounds, from a height such that an impact energy of 1.5 ft lbs is produced. The full UL documents/reports for this slow cooker is available upon request.
Please note, before a shipment of product goes out, we also perform pre-shipment inspections for the products, of which the results for this particular shipment of slow cookers was positive. A copy of the inspection report is available upon request.
Generally, such glass might be broken by a very high impact hit or dropping it on the floor from a very high level. But those are not normal use situations.
(4/24/2012) CE NORTH AMERICA, LLC: The claim came from CPSC report (20111229-59AD0-2147471930) and states that the victim brought the subject slow cooker SP57231 home, unpacked it and washed it (crock and lid) by hand in her sink with warm soapy water. Immediately after rinsing the lid, as she was reaching over to set the lid aside to drain, it exploded in her hand. Shards of glass went all over her sink. She received 1 minor cut on her hand. The shards were very sharp and could have caused significant injury had they gone into her eyes.
From the information the consumer provided, she did not find the glass lid defective or broken before washing. But it exploded after using warm soapy water. It is a very strange occurrence that the warm soapy water (its level of heat) could cause a glass 5mm thick to explode. Our slow cookers are UL-listed, which means they have to pass a variety of stringent UL testing requirements, including the glass impact test. Such glass can withstand the impact produced by dropping or swinging a steel sphere, 2 inches in diameter and weighing 1.18 pounds, from a height such that an impact energy of 1.5 ft lbs is produced. The afore-mentioned UL report can be furnished upon request if needed.
Before shipping this product, we also performed a pre-shipment inspection for the products, which had a positive result. An inspection report for this product can also be furnished upon request.
Generally, such glass might be broken by a very high impact hit or dropping it onto a solid floor from a very high level. But those are not normal use situations.
