Starbucks is recalling about 167,000 Fusion Coffee Mugs. The plastic handle can detach from the body of the mug when filled with hot liquids, posing a minor burn hazard to consumers. Starbucks has received 23 reports.
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.
They were sold at Starbucks stores nationwide from February 2007 through November 2007 for about $11. Consumers should immediately stop using the mugs and contact Starbucks for instructions on returning the cups for a full refund.
