Starbucks Recalls Glass Water Bottles
Starbucks has issued a voluntary recall of 12,200 clear glass water bottles sold in the U.S. and Canada after 10 people reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission that the glass stopper or bottle shattered and eight consumers received lacerations due to the glass.
The bottles, which held 20 ounces of liquid, were sold at Target, Safeway, and Starbucks for approximately $9. The recalled bottles have the SKU number 11003503 and the words “Glass Water Bottle” printed on the blue label stuck to the bottle. They were made in Taiwan and have been available for purchase since January 2010.
Starbucks is asking consumers to quit using the bottles and return them to the store from which they were purchased. If returned to a local Starbucks, the consumer will also receive a free drink. For more information, contact Starbucks at (877) 492-6333 between the hours of 8 am and 11 pm Monday through Friday.
