IKEA Recalls PLA Bowls, Plates, and Mugs Due to Burn Hazard

IKEA is recalling HEROISK and TALRIKA bowls, plates, and mugs made of PLA material because they can become brittle and break, causing hot contents to leak and burn consumers.

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 (burn hazard) where injury has been reported (two required medical attention), fitting the 'High' severity criteria for products where injury has not yet been reported as a widespread pattern but specific incidents exist.

Plain-English summary

IKEA Supply AG is recalling approximately 148,000 HEROISK and TALRIKA bowls, plates, and mugs sold in the United States. The products are made from PLA (Polylactic acid or polylactide) material from renewable sources and were sold in various colors, including yellow, pink, and blue. The items were sold at IKEA stores nationwide and online from August 2019 through May 2021 for between $4 and $12. An additional 11,400 units were sold in Canada.

The recall is due to a burn hazard. The bowls, plates, and mugs can become brittle and break, causing hot food or liquid to leak out. IKEA is aware of 123 reports of breakage worldwide, including four reports of injuries, two of which required medical attention. Most of the injuries were burns due to hot contents leaking out. There was one incident in the United States without injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled items and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund. The article name ("HEROISK" or "TALRIKA"), supplier number "23348," "Made in Taiwan" and "PLA" are molded into the bottom of each item.
