Starbucks says it is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on a voluntary recall of some of its coffee mugs manufactured in China.<\/p>\n
Starbucks says consumers should stop using the Starbucks Fusion Coffee Mugs immediately because the plastic handle can detach from the body of the mug when filled with hot liquids, posing a minor burn hazard to consumers.<\/p>\n
Starbucks says the recall involves about 167,000 units and it received 23 reports of handles detaching from the mug, including nine that resulted in minor burns.<\/p>\n
This recall involves two styles of Starbucks 14-ounce Fusion Coffee Mugs. The mugs are white and have a black plastic handle, and a stainless steel base. The cups have \"Starbucks Coffee\" printed on a black stamp or a brown original Starbucks logo stamp. Mugs with the \"Starbucks Coffee\" stamp were sold at Starbucks stores in the United States from February 2007 through November 2007 for about US$11. Mugs with the original logo stamp were sold only at Starbucks Pike Place store in Seattle, Washington during the same period and for the same price.<\/p>\n
Consumers have been encouraged to contact Starbucks for instructions on returning the cups for a full refund. Starbucks is also offering a free beverage as an incentive to return the recalled mugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
