Ikea recalls glass mugs due to laceration hazard
Published: 26 January 2011
Swedish retailer concerned inner walls of RUND hand made glass mugs may break when in use due to variations in thickness of glass.
Ikea is asking customers who have a RUND glass mug to stop using the product immediately and bring it back to any store for a full refund.
The retail chain said it had received 12 reports of incidents involving the glass mugs, with five of the breakages resulting in injury. The products affected are two-packs of the 4cl, 21cl and 40cl glasses.
The products are being recalled across all of Ikea's markets, including the US, where a laceration caused by a RUND glass was reported to have required medical attention.
