Starbucks Recalls Glass Water Bottles Due to Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, announced a voluntary recall of the following products from Starbucks. The Glass Water Bottles that can be found in Starbucks stores amount to around 11,000 in the United States and 1,200 in Canada.

This recall involves clear glass water bottles with SKU number 11003503. The 20-ounce water bottles have the words "Glass Water Bottle" printed on a blue label affixed to the bottle



The glass water bottle and/or its stopper can shatter when the consumer is removing or inserting the stopper, posing a laceration hazard to consumers. The firm has received 10 reports of either glass stoppers or water bottles shattering, including eight reports of hand lacerations.

Consumers should immediately stop using the glass water bottles and return the product to the Starbucks location where purchased to receive a full refund. Starbucks is also offering a complimentary beverage, of any size, to consumers upon return of the glass water bottles.
