TJX Recalls Glass Beer Mugs Due to Burn and Laceration Hazards

TJX is recalling glass beer mugs sold at HomeGoods because they can break when heated or used with hot liquids, posing burn and laceration risks.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (glass breaking causing burns/lacerations) where injury has been reported in Canada but not in the U.S., fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported domestically.

Plain-English summary

The TJX Companies, Inc. is recalling 16.9-ounce glass beer mugs sold exclusively at HomeGoods stores nationwide from May 2017 through June 2017 for about $4. The mugs have a label on the side reading "Handmade in Poland" and a second label on the bottom with the HomeGoods style number 069386. Approximately 500 units were sold in the U.S., and about 1,500 were sold in Canada.

The glass beer mugs can break if heated or used with hot liquid, posing burn and laceration hazards. No injuries have been reported in the U.S., but HomeGoods has received two reports of the mugs breaking in Canada when heated or used with hot liquids, including one report of a burn injury to a consumer's abdomen.

Consumers should immediately stop heating or using the recalled glass beer mugs with hot liquid. They can return the mugs to the nearest HomeGoods store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact HomeGoods at 800-888-0776 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit www.homegoods.com and click on Product Info/Recalls.
