  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jul 30, 2013, sent to the company Aug 7, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 28, 2013

    The product, in the report: 13” X 9” Pyrexware baking dish

    I was baking a batch of brownies in a 9” X 13” Pyrexware dish. When the brownies were finished, I took the dish out and set it on the room temperature smooth stove top. The dish exploded and fragmented into hundreds of tiny pieces. Luckily I received only a small burn on my thumb that had been near the dish. Some of the hot pieces fell on the floor and caused small scorch marks.

    Even after extensive cleaning, I am still finding tiny pieces of glass on the counter and floor, any of which could be dangerous either embedded in skin or by finding its way into food during preparation.

    This is an example of a product that is not suitable for normal use. There was no prior damage to the dish, no sudden heating or cooling, and no sudden shock. Products should perform with minimum risk during normal operation.
