Nestle USA has recalled Starbucks mugs sold as holiday gift sets. The Swiss food company is recalling the items due to risks of burns and cuts.
About 440,500 Starbucks holiday mugs are being recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also published Nestle's recall on Thursday, March 21.
Stores that Sold the Starbucks' Mugs
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the recalled Starbucks metallic cups were not sold in the coffee chain's stores. Instead, fans and customers bought them from online stores and leading retail outlets such as Walmart, Nexcom, and Target. The gift bundle consists of two coffee mugs and, depending on the selected package, may come with coffee blends such as classic hot cocoa, Starbucks Holiday Blend, and Starbucks Peppermint.
The products were on sale from November 2023 to January of this year. The mug gift sets were available in 11-ounce and 16-ounce sizes, with tag prices ranging from $10 to $13 and $20. They are ceramic cups wrapped in a metallic coating featuring the Starbucks branding.
The 2023 holiday gift sets are offered in different packages, and these are one with 2 Mugs, one with a combination of a mug and Starbucks Classic Hot Cocoa, one with a mug and Starbucks Peppermint, Classic Hot Cocoas, and a mug, and Starbucks Holiday Blend Coffee with one mug.
Issue With the Products and Refund Details
The CPSC said Nestlé's Starbucks-branded holiday cups are being recalled because they may break or overheat when filled with very hot liquid or microwaved, which could cause injuries.
So far, the Product Safety Commission said there have been 12 reported cases of cups breaking and overheating, with 10 incidents resulting in injuries. The injuries sustained were severe burns, cuts on a finger, and blisters on hands or fingers. One customer needed medical attention.
In the recall announcement, the CPSC advised customers to stop using the mugs and that they could return them to where they were purchased for refunds. Customers may also contact Nestlé USA to get a full refund.
