Plain-English summary

Tri-Vista Designs Inc. is recalling approximately 10,000 16-ounce white ceramic beverage mugs with metallic gold accents. The mugs feature a monogram letter printed in gold and were sold exclusively at Kirkland's stores nationwide from March 2015 to May 2015 for about $7. The recall was initiated because the metallic accents can spark if the mugs are used in a microwave, creating a fire hazard.

The firm has received one report of a mug sparking while in the microwave, but no injuries have been reported. The mugs were manufactured in China. A sticker on the bottom of the affected mugs displays "UPC# 698617673962," "SKU# 138837," and "Retail: $6.99."

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mugs in the microwave. They can return the mugs to any Kirkland's store for a full refund.
