The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/27/2012) Sunvalley LLC: Suns Tea double wall glasses are made of borosilicate glass, which has very low coefficients of thermal expansion, making them resistant to thermal shock. However, all glassware can break when exposed to significant thermal shock. Sometimes, when the glass is frequently exposed to less significant thermal shock or mechanical shock the glass could be unstablized and breakage could occur later. Most breakage could be prevented by proper handling of the glasses in the day to day use such as avoid directly dropping large ice cubes or metal spoon into the glasses, avoid the glass-glass contact in the dishwasher, avoid knocking down the glass on the hard surface, etc.
The safety of consumers is our highest priority. As part of our standard procedures, we have followed up on reported incident. We encourage consumers with any concerns about our products to contact us at 847-886-4830, or e-mail us at service@sunstea.com.

The product, in the report: Sun’s Tea (TM) 200z Strong Double Wall Thermo Glasses/Tumbler for Beer/Cocktail/Lemonade/lced Tea

I purchased these glasses for iced coffee/tea. The first glass actually exploded when I poured coffee (not very hot) on ice cubes. Fortunately it was in the sink so the glass was contained. The second glass exploded in the refrigerator after I put room temperature coffee in the glass to keep overnight. When I opened up the refrigerator, there was coffee and shards of glass all over the refrigerator and the floor. These glasses do not hold up and are very dangerous. They should be banned. Fortunately the first incident caused me no harm but only because the sink acted as a buffer. Had I been holding the glass or had it on the sink shelf I would have been hit by flying shards (shrapnel). Think how risky it would have been if I had a child who opened the refrigerator and went to get something inside with all the shards around.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/18/2011) Sunvalley LLC: Sunvalley LLC’s double wall glasses are made of borosilicate glass, which is stronger and more durable. However, all glassware can break when exposed to significant thermal shock or mechanical shock. When it is frequently exposed to less significant mechanical shock the glass could be unstablized and breakage could occur later. Because of the negative air pressure in between the double walls, when the glass does break it breaks into relatively large pieces generally lacking shards. Most mechanical breakage could be prevented by proper handling of the glasses in the day to day use such as avoid the glass-glass contact in the dishwasher, not drop heavy object like metal spoon in the glass, avoid knocking down the glass on the hard surface, etc.
The safety of consumers is our highest priority. As part of our standard procedures, we follow up on reported incident. We encourage consumers with any concerns about our products to contact us at 847-886-4830, or e-mail us at service@sunstea.com.
