The product, in the report: 30 PC WM BF BAKE & STORE SET ECOM

I received the Anchor Hocking glassware for christmas. I washed it and set it in my cabinets. About a week later, I needed a small container to put some noodles in. The container had not been in the oven nor the fridge, the noodles were slightly warm. After I ate them, I set the glass bowl on my nightstand. About 5 minutes later, the bowl exploded. Glass shards and chunks flew everywhere. I sat there shocked and shaken because I wasn’t sure what happened. I was sitting a foot away. I thought, “did it fall?” But the majority of the base was still sitting on my nightstand. I put my slippers on to start to clean up the class and a piece that had apparently landed on my slipper, went into by big toe. I saved the big pieces of glass and some smaller ones. I looked up the possibility of exploding glassware online because I was convinced that maybe a ghost did something. I did not think glass could just explode, but it did. And to my surprise, I found out that that happens alot. I am still shocked by the incident because I was sitting next to it. I have called Anchor Hocking twice but both times they have been closed.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/30/2020) Anchor Hocking, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Anchor Hocking to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission consumer Report ID: 20200407-E1DC2-2147373037, regarding a glass dish, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by Anchor Hocking. The consumer reported that the dish broke while in use. Anchor Hocking is glad to hear that there were no injuries. Anchor Hocking has been in contact with the consumer and requested that the glass be returned to Anchor for analysis and offered a replacement of the product. The glassware has not been submitted for inspection. If the consumer wishes to do so, Anchor Hocking’s Consumer Affairs Department can be reached at consumer@anchorhocking.com or 1-800-562-7511 ext. 2478. Based upon Anchor Hocking’s review of the proposed records, Anchor Hocking responds as follows:
I. ANCHOR HOCKING’S 16 C.F.R. 1102.12 COMMENTS ON THE REPORTED CONSUMER COMPLAINT
A. Identification and Inspection of the Products at Issue Not Performed
Anchor Hocking has not had the opportunity to inspect or otherwise view the product at issue in this claim. Often, similar products manufactured by other entities are improperly identified as Anchor Hocking products. Without having the opportunity to inspect the dish, Anchor Hocking is unable to determine whether the product involved in this incident is, in fact, an Anchor Hocking product.
In addition, because the dish has not been provided, Anchor Hocking cannot do an inspection as to any potential defect, age of the product, for common misuse or other cause of the failure. Without an opportunity to review the facts and product involved in the records disclosed, it is impossible to determine the cause of the alleged problem.
B. Compliance with Quality Standards
Anchoring Hocking’s glass serveware is manufactured in compliance with Anchor Hocking’s strict quality standards.
C. Consumer Misuse
In Anchor Hocking’s experience, consumer misuse, failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and supplier mishandling are the causes of the overwhelming majority of glass product failures industry-wide. Examples of this type of mishandling are: hitting the glass on a counter or hard surface causing a chip to break off; using improper cleaning materials or utensils; using on a stovetop; placing a hot dish on a wet or cold surface; adding liquid to a hot dish; or using in a too-hot oven. Anchor Hocking believes there is a chance either supplier or consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.
D. Tempered Glass
According to the consumer, the glass dish “shattered” into many small pieces. There is an explanation for this method of failure. Anchor Hocking’s glass serveware is subjected to a manufacturing process known as tempering or heat strengthening. Tempering is designed to strengthen glass against thermal shock and in the event of a failure to cause the products to fail safely by shattering in many smaller pieces that are unlikely to cause serious injury. The method of failure is actually a safety feature rather than evidence of a defect. Therefore, the consumer’s report of the product shattering into many pieces is actually an indication the product failed as it is designed to with tempered glass, rather than evidence of a defect.
Glass serveware is not without limitations. Like all glass, it can break. Manufacturers of glass serveware, including Anchor, have studied and evaluated the safety of glass while considering the rigors of cooking and serving. Mechanical breakage (i.e., dropping or hitting hard or sharp objects) is the most frequent failure mode by a significant margin. Accordingly, making the serveware stronger and more durable against mechanical breakage is a priority. Likewise, having the serveware break in a safer manner—i.e., relatively small pieces generally lacking sharp edges and shards—is a priority. Tempered soda-lime-silicate glass achieves these goals. Anchor Hocking is proud that it has never had any of its products recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Based on our extensive research and testing, tempered soda-lime-silicate glass products have an excellent safety and customer satisfaction record.
II. VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN COMMENTS AND REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION
Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(3), Anchor Hocking verifies that it has reviewed the report of harm and Anchor Hocking’s comments related to the report of harm and that the information contained in the comments is true and accurate to the best of Anchor Hocking’s knowledge, information, and belief. Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(4), Anchor Hocking requests that if the consumer report is published, the Commission publish this comment in the Database as well.

I was making tea with this pitcher. I’d been using it about a month for this purpose. The pitcher was in no way damaged. I was pouring hot water into the pitcher to steep the tea and the pitcher exploded. The pitcher was less than a foot in front of me as I poured the water from the tea kettle into the pitcher. The boiling water and glass shot out towards my body. I suffered 2nd degree burns across my stomach and down my right leg covering my thigh from my hip to my knee.

(3/15/2016) Anchor Hocking, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Anchor Hocking to CPSC consumer Report ID: 20160225-FAE61-2147421395, regarding a 2 quart glass pitcher, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by Anchor Hocking. The consumer reported that the pitcher broke when she poured boiling tea into it. Anchor Hocking was sorry to learn that the consumer was injured, but glad to hear that there were no injuries that required professional medical attention. We note that the consumer has not submitted the pitcher for inspection. If she wishes to do so, Anchor Hocking’s Consumer Affairs Department can be reached at consumer@anchorhocking.com or 1-800-562-7511 ext. 2478. Based upon Anchor Hocking’s review of the proposed records, Anchor Hocking responds as follows:
I. ANCHOR HOCKING’S CPSA SECTION 6(b) OBJECTIONS AND COMMENTS ON THE REPORTED CONSUMER COMPLAINT.
A. Identification and Inspection of the Products at Issue Not Performed
Anchor Hocking has not had the opportunity to inspect or otherwise view the product at issue in this claim. Often, similar products manufactured by other entities are improperly identified as Anchor Hocking products.

Anchor Hocking’s glass pitcher UPC label states “NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH HOT LIQUIDS.” In addition, the words “NO HOT LIQUIDS” are molded into the glass bottom of the pitcher. The consumer indicated that she poured boiling water into the pitcher. Consequently, Anchor Hocking believes that consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.

The product, in the report: 16 oz clear glass mug with handle. Anchor Hocking logo on bottom.

We have a set of Anchor Hocking Coffee glasses with handles that we’ve used for the past couple of years without incident. Tonight, after I poured boiling water into the glass mugs which had tea bags in them, one of the glasses violently exploded. I was not wearing shoes at the time and our kitchen floor is slate, so I instinctively jumped back more than a yard to avoid injury. The shards of glass were large and jagged. They flew several feet across the room. I stood frozen and called for my husband to help me. Fortunately I was wearing glasses and was not injured.
This was a very traumatic experience for me. What if this had happened to a child or an elderly person? This glass did not break, IT EXPLODED!

(3/25/2015) Anchor Hocking, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Anchor Hocking to CPSC consumer Report ID: 20150309-A990F-2147434724, regarding a glass batter bowl, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by Anchor Hocking. The consumer reported that the handle on the batter bowl melted in the microwave. Anchor Hocking was sorry to learn that the consumer was injured, but glad to hear that there were no injuries that required professional medical attention. Based upon the report, the consumer has been in contact with Anchor Hocking. We note that the consumer has not submitted the product for inspection. If he wishes to do so, Anchor Hocking’s Consumer Affairs Department can be reached at consumer@anchorhocking.com or 1-800-562-7511 ext. 2478. Based upon Anchor Hocking’s review of the proposed records, Anchor Hocking responds as follows:
I. ANCHOR HOCKING’S 16 C.F.R. 1102.12 COMMENTS ON THE REPORTED CONSUMER COMPLAINT.
A. Identification and Inspection of the Products at Issue
Anchor Hocking has not had the opportunity to inspect or otherwise view the product at issue in this claim. Often, similar products manufactured by other entities are improperly identified as Anchor Hocking products. Without having the opportunity to inspect the glassware, Anchor Hocking is unable to identify whether the product involved in this incident is, in fact, an Anchor Hocking product.
In addition, because the batter bowl was not provided, Anchor Hocking cannot perform an inspection as to any potential defect, for common misuse, or other cause of failure. Without an opportunity to review the product involved in the records disclosed, it is impossible to determine the cause of the alleged problem.
B. Consumer Misuse
In Anchor Hocking’s experience, consumer misuse, failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and supplier mishandling are the causes of the overwhelming majority of glass product failures industry-wide. Examples of this type of mishandling are: hitting the glass on a counter or hard surface causing a chip to break off or using improper cleaning materials or utensils. Anchor Hocking believes there is a chance either supplier or consumer misuse or a microwave malfunction caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product. Specifically, the consumer indicated that the handle melted after several minutes in the microwave. When microwave energy has not been properly redistributed within the microwave oven an occurrence will cause damage to the glassware as described. Or if a glass item becomes stuck and does not continue to rotate on the carousel, the energy rays from the microwave will concentrate at the site causing damage to the glass.
C. Tempered Glass Bakeware
Glass bakeware is not without limitations. While it is a healthier alternative to metal bakeware because no hazardous materials leach into the food, and cooks often prefer it because it helps retain moisture, like all glass, it can break. Manufacturers of glass bakeware, including Anchor, have studied and evaluated the safety of glass bakeware while considering the rigors of cooking. Mechanical breakage (i.e., dropping or hitting hard or sharp objects) is the most frequent failure mode by a significant margin. Accordingly, making the bakeware stronger and more durable against mechanical breakage is a priority. Likewise, having the bakeware break in a safer manner—i.e., relatively small pieces generally lacking sharp edges and shards—is a priority. Tempered soda-lime-silicate glass achieves these goals. Anchor Hocking is proud that it has never had any of its products recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
