Alert North Dakota: Warning Issued For Starbucks Metallic Mug Gift Sets
Nestlé USA is recalling about 440,500 metallic mugs from 2023 holiday gift sets with the Starbucks logo. The mugs are being recalled due to safety concerns.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the mugs have the potential to overheat or break when microwaved or filled with very hot beverages, which might cause burns or laceration to users.
Ceramic cups with metallic coatings that display the Starbucks logo are part of four different gift packages that are recalled.
During the 2023 Christmas season, these mugs were available in 11 oz. and 16 oz. sizes as component parts of several gift sets. Starbucks Peppermint and Classic Hot Cocoa and Mug, Starbucks Holiday Blend Coffee and Mug, Starbucks Holiday Gift Set with Two Mugs, and Starbucks Classic Hot Cocoa and Mug are all impacted gift sets.
There have been 12 reports of the mugs overheating or shattering, leading to 10 injuries, as stated in the recall documents. Nine blisters or severe burns on fingers or hands and one cut on a finger are among these injuries.
The fact that medical assistance was needed in one instance shows how serious the danger was.
Customers who have bought the mugs that were recalled should stop using them right away and take them back to the store where they bought them to get their money back. On the other hand, customers can initiate the refund procedure by contacting Nestlé USA directly.
To get your money back in full, you don't need to keep the receipt.
From November 2023 through January 2024, the impacted mugs were sold at Target and Walmart stores and online, as well as through Nexcom, which are military retail shops, across the country. Depending on the set, the gift boxes could cost anywhere from $10 to $20.
Call Nestlé USA at 800-681-1676 Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm ET, for further details and help with the recall. You can find additional details in the "Metallic Mug Recall" section of the Nestlé USA website or the Starbucks At Home website.
Customers should take note that this recall is a call to action to ensure the safety of products and to eliminate any risks as soon as possible for the sake of everyone's health.
