    The product, in the report: Glass bowl

    This report was submitted from an email sent through the Information Center

    Hi. I’m writing to report an incident of a glass bowl that exploded in my hands as I was washing dishes after Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, November 26, 2015.

    I had bought the microwave-safe glass bowl as part of a set of Crate and Barrel “Nesting Bowls.” I’ve had the set for four years and have used them mainly to mix ingredients before pouring into another dish.

    On Thanksgiving, I used the largest bowl in the set to hold bread rolls at the dinner table. The rolls were warm, and wrapped in paper towels in the bowl.

    About 2 hours after dinner, I began hand washing the largest dishes. I grabbed the bowl, which had been sitting on my marble counter next to the sink, and put it under hot (not scalding) water to rinse out. It immediately exploded into what seemed like thousands of pieces of glass. I was cut in multiple places on my hands, but the most serious cut was to my wrist.

    Soon, I could not feel my middle right finger and realized I needed to get to the ER. The result: five stitches to my wrist and nerve damage. I have visited with a hand specialist from [REDACTED] Hospital who has recommended surgery to hopefully restore feeling in my right hand.

    I didn’t bump the glass on anything. The only heat came from the hot water I was using to wash dishes, and since my hands were in the water, it was not scalding hot. Again, the glass bowl had been sitting on my marble counter for two hours before washing.

    This is something that should never happen. I am lucky the glass didn’t get into my eyes. A consumer should have a reasonable expectation of her safety when doing something as basic as washing a dish.

    I have saved the glass and I have copies of my medical bills and happy to provide either if you need and please feel free to call me if you need any more information.

    Please look into this.

    Thank You
