The product, in the report: Swanton Stripe Break-Resistant Opal Glass Dinnerware. I have only had a problem with the bowls, the plates are fine so far.

My opal glass bowls from Gibson Ultra randomly shatter under no-stress conditions. They are advertised as shatter resistant, and microwave and dishwasher safe, but I have had 3 bowls (out of 8 I purchased a few months ago) shatter randomly. One was sitting on a desk undisturbed about 4 hours after being microwaved with food inside. Another was overnight inside the dishwasher, which had run overnight. I don’t know when exactly it shattered. The third shattered inside the dishwasher that had not been run yet. When I say “shatter” I mean that there are LOTS of large pieces, along with Lots of small shards smaller than a finger nail clipping--and sharp.

The product, in the report: GIBSON KA1 11 ReacTV DINNERWARE SET DISHWASHER/MICROWAVE SAFE

Dear Sir/Ms. In July of this year I bought a set of dinnerware from a Payless Grocery in Anderson Indiana. A few days ago I put one of these dishes in my microwave and upon hearing the bell opened the door, reached in and the dish literally exploded. Fortunately I incurred no injury but think of the possibilities. My granddaughter stays with me often and if indeed she had been injured in a similar event with loss of eye or anything for that matter ..... major suit would have been initiated. I returned the dishes to the store including the one which exploded. Having no foreseeable need to keep the receipt for dishes I didn’t; however, I did take with me the credit card statement showing the purchase, date, etc.. The manager said no receipt/no refund. I mentioned the safety issue but she paid absolutely no attention to safety .. none. Since that time I have called a corporate phone number and had them send a receipt to me via e-mail. Upon several conversations with three store managers I have taken care of the refund myself. Now, I am sending this note to you concerning the all-important subject of a dangerous product. It is evidently mislabeled, ( says is microwavable safe on dish) defective, and has injurious probability. In fairness to you I write you first that you may look into this matter thus avoiding further action by me. Retraction of product from all store shelves requested.

The product, in the report: The bottom label reads as follows: Gibson Homes Mug Stoneware Dishwasher and Microwave safe Item 68655.01 - Inspirational words UPC 085081918352 Distributed by Gibson Overseas Inc Commerce, CA 90040 Gibsonusa.com

I experienced a safety issue with a GibsonUSA coffee mug I recently received as a Christmas gift.
The problem is that the mug handle becomes dangerously hot when heating liquid in a microwave oven. When a person reaches into the microwave to pull the mug out by the handle, the handle is nearly as hot as the boiling liquid itself. Fortunately, when I reflexively pulled my hand away from the mug the first time, I did not knock over the entire mug - spilling boiling water on myself. But another person might not be so lucky.
The label on the bottom of the mug reads as follows: The bottom label reads as follows: Gibson Homes Mug Stoneware Dishwasher and Microwave safe Item 68655.01 - Inspirational words UPC 085081918352 Distributed by Gibson Overseas Inc Commerce, CA 90040 Gibsonusa.com Made in China
