Plain-English summary
Starbucks Coffee Co. is recalling approximately 167,000 14-ounce Fusion Coffee Mugs manufactured by lab921 in China. The mugs are white with a black plastic handle and a stainless steel base. They feature either a black "Starbucks Coffee" stamp or a brown original Starbucks logo stamp.
The recall is due to a burn hazard where the plastic handle can detach from the body of the mug when filled with hot liquids. Starbucks has received 23 reports of handles detaching, including nine instances that resulted in minor burns.
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 the Starbucks Pike Place store in Seattle, Washington, during the same period for the same price. Consumers should immediately stop using the mugs and contact Starbucks at (800) 624-8678 or visit www.starbucks.com 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.
