Starbucks recalls glass water bottles after eight are hurt


Starbucks is recalling glass water bottles it has been selling this month after 10 customers reported either the glass stopper or bottle had shattered, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Starbucks told the CPSC eight of the reported incidents resulted in cuts. The company has sold 11,000 bottles in the U.S. and 1,200 in Canada.

The 20-ounce clear glass bottles were sold this month at Starbucks, Target and Safeway for about $9. They were made in Taiwan.

If you have one of the bottles you are asked to stop using them immediately and return them to where they were purchased for a full refund. Starbucks will also give anyone returning the bottles a free drink of any size.

For more information, call Starbucks weekdays between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. at (877) 492-6333.

UH-OH goodbye Starbucks corporation. At first I thought people were putting coffee in these water bottles, but nope just water. I'm probably the most clumsiest human alive. I broke a glass just last night and break about seven a year. However I have never managed to cut myself. How 8 out of 10 people cut themselves is BEYOND me. Like to break a glass bottle you got to drop it. And why the re-call? You buy a glass bottle drop it and expect it not to break. Buy plastic bottles you idiots
