The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/12/2011) Crate and Barrel: We at Crate & Barrel regret that the table you purchased did not hold up to your or our quality expectations. We have identified this table as the Mix Side Table (SKU 429-701).
Please know that we take the safety of our customers and the general public very seriously. We have a robust testing program whereby our products are tested by an independent testing organization, and are required to comply with all applicable federal and state safety standards, prior to sale. Products that do not meet the standards (and any additional criteria imposed by Crate & Barrel) are not offered for sale.
This particular table is made with tempered safety glass produced in conformance with the CS6202 standard (British Standard Institution standard: Impact Performance Requirements for Flat Safety Glass and Safety Plastics for Use in Buildings) which is three times stronger than nontempered glass. The shelves on the table were tested prior to sale by an independent third party testing agency with positive results.
Upon receiving the report, we contacted our manufacturer and learned that, despite the care taken to use strong, durable glass conforming to the above standards and testing, in rare cases it is possible for a random piece of tempered safety glass to be flawed during the heat-treating process and susceptible to spontaneous breakage at some later time. According to industry statistics provided by our manufacturer, the incidence of spontaneous breakage in tempered glass is less than 0.2%; the incidence of such spontaneous breakage in the particular tables supplied to us by our manufacturer is about 100th of industry expectations – about .0027%. It would appear therefore that, while possible, the breakage represents an isolated, albeit quite unfortunate, incident.
With that said, we understand this customer’s frustration in purchasing an item that experiences the rare spontaneous breakage. We will indeed follow up to ensure that appropriate measures are offered to ensure her satisfaction.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and providing us with a chance to respond.
