The product, in the report: The product is the 16 oz Anchor Hocking Rio drinking glass, which has a squarish shape and a weighted base.

We purchased 16 Anchor Hocking Rio glasses on Amazon. Two of them arrived with safety defects. They were not damaged in shipping. Both had a raised “fin” of glass on the bottom, which was not immediately obvious. The “fin” was a narrow piece of glass sticking up from the bottom of the glass.
I was drying one of the glasses with a dish towel and a shard of glass about half an inch long broke off from the fin. If I hadn’t noticed the fin and had been stirring something in the glass, that shard might have broken off and been swallowed.
The similarity of the safety defects suggests that Anchor Hocking may have a problem with its manufacturing process. There may be other glasses that have similar safety defects. I have reported the problem to Anchor Hocking and to Amazon. Both have said they will investigate the issue. Amazon sent me replacement glasses. I am posting this here in hopes of alerting other customers of the need to inspect Anchor Hocking Rio glasses closely until the matter is resolved.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/15/2026) Anchor Hocking, LLC: This is a response on behalf of Anchor Hocking LLC to CPSC consumer Report ID: 20260702-18C11-2147314550, regarding a 16oz Rio Drinking Glass, which the consumer identified as being manufactured by Anchor Hocking. The consumer reported that the glass arrived with a raised “fin” that had broken off when cleaning. Anchor Hocking has reached out to the consumer directly to obtain the glass and replace the product and are actively working with the consumer to do so. Anchor Hocking has received pictures of the glass from the consumer to assist in our analysis. 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. Identification was made based on the description and photos submitted by the consumer.
Because the glass has not yet been provided, Anchor Hocking 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. Anchor Hocking remains committed to obtaining the glass to better analyze what caused this issue. To date, Anchor Hocking has not received any similar complaints.
B. Compliance with Industry Standard
Anchoring Hocking’s glassware is 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 Anchor Hocking’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 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. Anchor Hocking believes there is a chance either retailer or consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.
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 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 product, in the report: Anchor Hocking drinking glasses. 8 oz and 16 oz set. Bought from Walmart.

I bought a set of Anchor Hocking drinking glasses from Walmart several months ago. Recently, while putting hot water into the glasses, the glasses cracked and the bottom part came off. It happened to 2 of the 16 glasses. I was lucky that I was not holding the glasses when that happened. Imagine what injuries it would cause if the glasses broke and hot water spilled on the body! I stopped using the glasses and contacted Anchor Hocking but didn’t get any response yet. Those glasses should be recalled!

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 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 glassware 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 orusing improper cleaning materials or utensils;. Anchor Hocking believes there is a chance either supplier or consumer misuse caused or contributed to the alleged failure of the product.
II. Pursuant to 16 CFR § 1102.12(c)(3), Anchor Hocking verifies that it has reviewed the report of harm and the comment related to the report of harm and that the information contained in the comment is true and accurate to the best of Anchor Hocking’s knowledge, information, and belief.

The product, in the report: Anchor Hocking, 16 ounce Rio style tumbler, Item# 80850L8.

I purchased 16 piece set of Anchor Hocking Rio style glassware about 3 months ago. I had a tumbler break while in the dishwasher. It had a right triangle shape break off the top of the glass, about 1.5 inches by 2 inches. The dishwasher was ran on a normal cycle with energy saving (low heat) dry cycle. It was on the top shelf, and did not have any other items close that could have banged into it. Used Finish brand dishwasher tablets, I do not use abrasive items to scrub the glasses.

The product, in the report: Anchor Hocking Company 16pc “Square” drinking glass set. Barcode on box is 7644080850

While washing a brand new, just out of the box, Anchor Hocking 16oz drinking glass, a chunk broke off, making a rather large cut/laceration on my index finger. I was hand washing all the glasses because there were no instructions given in the box. I had washed all the 11.5oz glasses and was the seventh 16oz glass when it broke. There was no damage to the glass before hand, as I inspected all of them before putting them into the sink prior to washing.

The product, in the report: A tall, glass drinking glass, in a distorted “hourglass” type shape

I was hand washing a tall drinking glass, and as I was washing the inside of the glass, a large chuck of the cup broke off. The broken edge cut my thumb and index finger knuckle before I could react, and the cuts were so deep I had to go to the ER to have my wounds addressed. I missed one day of work because I could not use my hand.
