This just in: About 167,000 Starbucks Fusion Coffee Mugs have been recalled because the plastic handle can detach from the body of the mug when filled with hot liquids, posing a minor burn hazard to consumers. The product is manufactured in lab921, Seattle, Wash.
So far, Starbucks has received 23 reports of handles detaching from the mug, including nine that resulted in minor burns.
This recall involves two styles of Starbucks 14-ounce Fusion Coffee Mugs. The mugs are white and have a black plastic handle, and a stainless steel base. The cups have “Starbucks Coffee” printed on a black stamp or a brown original Starbucks logo stamp.
Starbucks Fusion Coffee Mugs with the “Starbucks Coffee” stamp were sold at Starbucks stores nationwide from February 2007 through November 2007 for about $11. Mugs with the original logo stamp were sold only at Starbucks Pike Place store in Seattle, Washington during the same period and for the same price.
If you are affected, you should immediately stop using the mugs and contact Starbucks for instructions on returning the cups for a full refund. Starbucks is also offering a free beverage as an incentive to return the recalled mugs.
