They are the glass water bottles made by Starbucks and sold in their coffee shops. So far about 11,000 bottles have been recalled in the U.S. and another 1,200 in Canada because the bottles can shatter when the stopper is removed.
Starbucks claims it has received 10 reports of shattering bottles, leaving consumers with hand injuries. The problem is with the 20-ounce water bottles with the SKU number of 11003503. They were sold at Starbucks and at Target Stores and Safeway, from January 11, 2010 to January 25, 2010. The bottles were made in Taiwan.
Starbucks has a number for consumers to call (877) 492-6333 and their Web site is www.starbucks.com.
Consumers are advised to stop using the dangerous water bottles and return them to the nearest store for a full refund. The company will also offer you a free beverage of any size to compensate you for returning the recalled bottle. #
