Plain-English summary

Pier 1 Imports is recalling approximately 219,000 Blue/Green Dual Glassware Pieces, including large and small tumblers, goblets, and margaritas. The recalled items feature specific color combinations, such as aquamarine and yellow tumblers, and clear and aquamarine/yellow goblets and margaritas. These products were sold at Pier 1 Imports stores nationwide, its website, and in its June 2007 catalog from January 2007 through April 2007 for about $6.

The recall was issued because the glassware can crack or break unexpectedly, which poses a laceration hazard to consumers. Pier 1 Imports has received 21 reports of glassware cracking or breaking, including one injury involving a minor cut from broken glass associated with a previous recall.

Because Pier 1 Imports is no longer in business, a recall remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard the product. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
