No one hurt Made Apr 10, 2019, sent to the company Apr 19, 2019, published by CPSC May 10, 2019
The product, in the report: “earthchoice” paper cup by “ingeo” or “pactiv”, I’m not which other latter 2 words is the name of the company.
If you put an “earthchoice” coffee cup in a microwave, even before the coffee is hot enough to drink, the cup will catch on fire. This brand of a coffee cup apparently made from re-cycled paper and is more environmental friendly. I have had this happen 3 times over the past 6 months. I usually use a Styrofoam cup instead, but occasionally get coffee in a place that uses this cup. The cups are available in light brown and light green color. I don’t recall which one I used.
I smelled smoke in the room and I observed a portion of the cup was charred black on the outside.
Obviouly this is a major safety issue that you should investigate. Just get cup and try heating water or coffee to the temperature you would normally drink.
