Plain-English summary

DAVIDsTEA is recalling its Partner in Crime and For You Valentine's Day stackable mugs. The recall involves about 700 ceramic mugs that are black or pink with metallic gold accents. The mugs feature the phrases "You're my partner in crime" or "I'd check my voicemail for you" printed inside the bottom and state "Microwave safe" on the underside.

The mugs were mislabeled as microwave safe. If microwaved, the metallic print on the mug can spark, posing a fire hazard. No injuries have been reported.

The mugs were sold at DAVIDsTEA stores nationwide and online at www.davidstea.com from January 2019 through February 2019 for about $15. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mugs and contact DAVIDsTEA for instructions to replace the mug or return the product for a full refund.
