The product, in the report: Corelle Dishes

I accidentally knocked 4 Corella Bowls onto my counter. Its not a stone counter top. They exploded into a 1000 pcs. I did not know this could happen. This warning should be on their box. The pcs went into 2 rooms. My feet were cut. Thank goodness a baby was not around. My 2 dogs were lucky not to get cut. I was also lucky it didn’t get in my eye.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/15/2026) World Kitchen, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Corelle Brands d/b/a World Kitchen to CPSC consumer Report ID: 20260701-4C9CF-6133763, regarding some bowls, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by Corelle Brands. The consumer reported that she knocked the bowls onto her counter and they “exploded into 1000 pieces.” Corelle has been in contact with this consumer. Corelle informed the consumer that the warranty on the dishes does not cover breakage caused by drops however, Corelle sent replacement items to the consumer upon her approval. Based upon Corelle Brands’ review of the proposed records, Corelle Brands responds as follows:
I. CORELLE BRANDS’ 16 C.F.R. 1102.12 COMMENTS ON THE REPORTED CONSUMER COMPLAINT.
A. Identification and Inspection of the Products at Issue Not Performed
Corelle Brands 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 Corelle Brands products. Without having the opportunity to inspect the bowls, Corelle Brands is unable to determine whether the product involved in this incident is, in fact, a Corelle Brands product.
In addition, because the bowls have not been provided, Corelle Brands cannot do an inspection as to any potential defect, for common misuse, retailer mishandling, or other cause of the failure. Without an opportunity to review the facts and products involved in the records disclosed, it is impossible to determine the cause of the alleged problem.
B. Compliance with Industry Standard
Corelle Brands’ glass dishes are manufactured in compliance with the applicable industry standard set forth in Chapter 24 of the Cookware Manufacturing Association Engineering Standards for Cookware and Bakeware.
C. Consumer or Retailer Misuse
In Corelle Brands’ experience, consumer misuse, failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and supplier and/or retailer 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; retailer mishandling including improper stacking or storage; or using in a too-hot oven. Corelle Brands believes there is a chance either retailer or consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.
The breakage that occurred here and the events as described by the consumer indicate consumer misuse caused this failure. A mechanical breakage caused by dropping the bowls on the counter. The description that the bowls “exploded into 1000 pieces,” actually shows the product is working as designed. Mechanical breakages such as dropping or bumping into a hard surface is the most common cause of breakages. Corelle dishes are designed to break into small, less sharp pieces as opposed to sharp, jagged edges to further protect the consumer from injury.
II. VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN COMMENTS AND REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION
Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(3), Corelle Brands verifies that it has reviewed the report of harm and Corelle Brands’ comments related to the report of harm and that the information contained in the comments is true and accurate to the best of Corelle Brands’ knowledge, information, and belief. Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(4), Corelle Brands requests that the Commission publish the comment in the Database, and consents to the publication of the comment in the Database.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/16/2025) World Kitchen, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Corelle Brands d/b/a World Kitchen to CPSC consumer Report ID: 20250326-C5B9C-2147332324, regarding Vitrelle glass dinnerware – plates and bowls, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by World Kitchen, LLC. The consumer reported that the dishes are “disintegrating along the edges.” It does not appear that the consumer has reached out to Corelle directly. The consumer has not submitted the glassware for inspection. If the consumer wishes to do so, Corelle’s Consumer Affairs Department can be reached at support@corellebrands.com or 1-800-999-3436. Based upon Corelle’s review of the proposed records, Corelle responds as follows:
I. CORELLE’S 16 C.F.R. 1102.12 COMMENTS ON THE REPORTED CONSUMER COMPLAINT.
A. Identification and Inspection of the Products at Issue Not Performed
Corelle has not had the opportunity to inspect or otherwise view the product at issue in this claim. Without an opportunity to review the facts and products involved in the records disclosed, it is impossible to determine the cause of the alleged problem.
B. Compliance with Industry Standard
Corelle complies with all FDA and Proposition 65 regulations as they pertain to food contact standards.
C. Consumer or Retailer Misuse
In Corelle’s experience, consumer misuse, failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and supplier and/or retailer 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 (such as high ph dishwasher detergent) or utensils (metal brushes or metal racks within the dishwasher); or retailer mishandling including improper stacking or storage; Corelle believes there is a chance either retailer or consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.
Glass dinnerware is not without limitations. While it is a healthier alternative to other types of dinnerware, like all glass, it can wear down or even break. Manufacturers of glass dinnerware, including Corelle, have studied and evaluated the safety of glass dinnerware. Repeated use of the product can wear down the glass. If the product becomes scratched by metal utensils or otherwise, is cycled through many dishwasher cycles with high ph detergent and/or hard water, is scrubbed with stainless steel dishwasher sponges or any combination of similar use, the product will inevitably wear down over prolonged periods. Corelle receives complaints similar to this issue once every few years. Because we stand by the product, its rigor and effectiveness, regardless of the warranty period, the items are replaced at no cost to the consumer.
II. VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN COMMENTS AND REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION
Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(3), Corelle verifies that it has reviewed the report of harm and Corelle’s comments related to the report of harm and that the information contained in the comments is true and accurate to the best of Corelle’s knowledge, information, and belief. Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(4), Corelle requests that the Commission publish the comment in the Database, and consents to the publication of the comment in the Database.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/7/2023) World Kitchen, LLC: We manufacture Corelle products and appreciated receiving this Consumer Product Safety Act Section 6A Report (Report No. 20230120-23A1B-2147351271) on January 24, 2023 (the “Report”), and the opportunity to provide a response to the Commission.
As an initial matter, we note that the referenced product complies with all applicable durability and testing protocols . We do not believe that the product presents a defect, quality issue, safety issue or any other problem.
Upon receiving this Report, we searched our database for any contact and/or information from the customer. Our records confirmed that we had already been in contact with the customer, and that we respectfully requested that he return his product for further evaluation, free of charge. Unfortunately, the customer was not willing to return the subject plate or any other plate in the same packaged set as the subject plate. However, he did provide photographs in the Report and to our customer service team.
Based on an evaluation of the customer-supplied photographs, technicians determined that damage to the subject plate likely resulted from an external source, such as a bump, dropped box or the like. Specifically, the photographs show the customer’s food entirely in-tact and undisturbed, and the crack is large and isolated. Accordingly, neither the data presented nor the evaluation support an event occurring as described in the Report.
Although we reiterate that we do not believe that the product presents a defect, quality issue, safety issue or any other problem, we nevertheless have a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Accordingly, a customer care specialist reached out to extend a customer goodwill gesture . Customer satisfaction and safety are our top priority, and we encourage all our customers to contact us at any time, whether by phone, email or via our online ticket portal. Thank you again for the notification and the opportunity to provide this response.

Corelle® user instructions are included with the product and online at https://www.corelle.com/product-warranties, and they provide customers with clear information on how to minimize the possibility for breakage.
Unfortunately, no consumer contact information was provided in the Report, so Corelle Brands is unable to verify whether the consumer previously contacted Corelle Brands about this matter or to request additional information from the consumer.

As an initial matter, Corelle Brands notes that there is no reported injury and the referenced product complies with applicable durability standards and is not the subject of an associated recall or other corrective action.

The product, in the report: Corelle Livingware dinnerware, City Block pattern Corelle Livingware® City Block 76-Pc Dinnerware Set, Product No: 1112023

We have very hard water, so I began using [REDACTED] in our dishwasher. We also have Corelle dinnerware. After several months of using [REDACTED] as an additive with our dishwasher detergent packets, we noticed that the previously smooth rims on the Corelle felt rough.
I suspect that the Corelle is being dissolved by the [REDACTED]. Now small fragments of the Corelle edges flake off when touched. No injuries have occurred, but they would certainly be possible considering the flaking glass-like edges.
Over time, [REDACTED] has removed some of the printed logos, etc, from our glassware, so perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised. However, there are no warning labels on the [REDACTED] and nothing in the Corelle product information or warranty information that suggests that products like Lemi-Shine should not be used.
I contacted Corelle via their website to report what has happened and to ask if this was a known issue. The only response I got was an offer of a discount if I want to buy another set of Corelle.
I suspect that our Corelle is now more prone to breakage, since the integrity of the edge has been compromised. I’m also concerned that someone will get a glass fragment from handling the dinnerware. We’ve used Corelle for decades and nothing like this has happened before.
In my opinion, both the Corelle and the [REDACTED] should have some kind of warning label. [REDACTED] has no directions as to quantity to use, so it is possible that using less would avoid this problem. I am concerned that this is happening to other people who may not realize what is going on and how dangerous it could be.

The plates were not warmed in the microwave or in the oven and they were not taken from the freezer or the refrigerator, when suddenly there was an explosive noise one of the plates simply broke apart. It shattered into thousands of little glass pieces, and spewed shards all over my kitchen and into my dining room like projectile missiles! It was very frightening! The dinnerware is not even a-year-old yet, and has no chips, cracks or breakage. I’m afraid to use the dinnerware anymore.

The consumer made tea and poured it in the tea cup. The consumer sat down on her couch and began drinking her tea. Approximately 4 minutes later, the handle on the tea cup fell apart where it connected to the tea cup. The consumer indicated that the tea spilled over her left hand, left leg and onto her bottom. The consumer states that her left leg and bottom are very red and it feels numb.
The consumer plans to contact the firm to inform them about the incident.
The consumer indicated that she purchased 6 more of these tea cups and they were sold individually. The consumer uses the tea cups daily.
The consumer noticed that the handle is glued onto the cup versus being molded and she believes the glue is not reliable. The consumer believes this presents a safety hazard because it can happen with the other cups.

The product, in the report: Corelle Impressions T Pewter 16-piece dinnerware set (3 sets)

Three years ago I purchased three sets of Corelle dinnerware. I have used Corelle in the past and have had no problems. About five weeks ago, I heard a crash in the cabinet where the dinner plates were kept. One of the plates had broken into numerous sharp shards. I assumed that it was a flaw in that one plate and that I had stacked them so it broke. I took a picture because it was so strange.
About three weeks ago, we had set the table for dinner. Fortunately no one was at the table yet. One of the dinner plates exploded into sharp shards that shot several inches. I believe three others of our family members were in the room and saw it happen. We cleaned up tiny, sharp shards of Corelle on the table, the floor and the tablecloth.
I contacted Corelle and informed them about the issue, but their response was that my plates were purchased three years ago and all they could do was replace them with plain white. That is not what I wanted. I want them to recall the plates or be required to have a warning that they can spontaneously explode. When I looked on the internet, other people have had the same problem, some people were injured..

The product, in the report: Corelle bowls

I have small Corelle dishes for my children - I was pulling apart 2 small bowls and one shattered into a bazillion pieces. I had cuts on my hands - I didn’t see or feel the glass cutting me, because some of the shards are microscopic. I found shards in 2 adjoining rooms as well. I completely understand that glass breaks, but this was like a small bomb went off.

The product, in the report: Corelle Livingware, pattern:Serenity. Dinner plate.

2 year old Corelle Livingware (pattern Serenity) dinner plate tipped off our standard height kitchen counter onto the wood floor and shattered into tiny shards with a very loud cracking sound. It was not knocked with any force, just not quite placed all the way on the counter. The hundreds of razor sharp pieces extended at least 10’ from the point of impact, unlike other dishware which might break into several pieces close to where it hits the floor. The plate was dry with a small amount of food residue on it; plate, counter, and kitchen were all a normal room temperature. The plate had not been heated in the microwave prior to being used for the meal. Based on the manufacturer’s exclusion of “accidental breakage” from the warranty (which appears to cover almost nothing that realistically might happen to a dish in use in a household) and many other consumer reports of manufacturer inaction in response to similar incidents, I did not report this to the manufacturer; however, I took pictures to document the breakage.

The product, in the report: Corelle Square Fine Lines Vitrelle glass dinnerware. 9” square Luncheon Plate.

We purchased a set of Corelle Fine Lines Vitrelle dinnerware in March of 2010 and have used it daily since then without incident. Tonight, after preparing his dinner in the microwave (NOT using the Corelle), my husband transferred the food to a Corelle luncheon plate. He had the plate sitting on his desk in front of him and after eating for about 5 minutes, the dish shattered under his food. He was not injured.

The product, in the report: I don’t remember the specific name of the Corelle product. They are pure white bowls and plates.

One of several small Corelle bowls sitting in a stack broke spontaneously into several pieces and many slivers. It had not been misused (per Corelle’s warnings) nor bumped--it was just sitting there between other bowls of the same kind.
Later the same day, a small Corelle plate that had been sitting untouched on our table for hours split in half with a loud crack, spontaneously, creating numerous small slivers. Again, none of our Corelle dishes are ever used against the manufacturer’s directions.
We have had probably a dozen Corelle bowls crack and splinter in a similar fashion in the three years we have been using them. Sometimes it’s with a slight bump in the dishwasher, but sometimes it’s spontaneous like the two incidents today.
