Tempered glass bowls have shattered when they shouldn’t. They’ve now been recalled
Glass bowls used in cooking or storage shouldn’t shatter from normal use. That’s why 6,850 four-packs of Epicure Prep Bowls have been recalled in the United States and Canada.
The exact problem, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission alert: “The tempered glass bowl can break or shatter during use, posing a laceration hazard.”
Additionally, Epicure says it knows about “six reports of the prep bowls breaking or shattering in the United States and 35 reports in Canada, including one report of a minor cut on the finger.”
This covers four-packs with “1004242” printed on the box’s outside bottom. The bowls have purple tops.
