Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Michaels Stores Procurement Co. Inc. are recalling approximately 27,000 Celebrate It ceramic travel mugs. The recall involves mugs with a silicone lid that measure about 6.5 inches tall and hold about 16 ounces of liquid. The mugs feature four specific designs: Motherhood the greatest adventure (lime green lid), MOM (lime green lid), Blue floral (turquoise lid), and Pink floral (pink lid). Only ceramic mugs with SKU number 508992 and UPC code 886946619458 printed on a label on the bottom are included in the recall.

The mugs pose a burn hazard because the lid does not fit securely, which can cause liquids to leak from the bottom of the lid when tilted. Additionally, the mugs lack a silicone hand wrap, which could cause consumers to burn their hands on the side walls of the mug. The firm has received one report of the lid leaking, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled mugs were sold at Michaels stores nationwide from March 2017 through April 2017 for about $8. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mugs and return them to any Michaels store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Michaels at 800-642-4235 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit www.michaels.com and click on "Product Recalls" at the bottom of the page.
