Teavana recalls nearly half a million tea tumblers
Teavana announced a recall of 445,000 portable tea tumblers, because they can break or shatter unexpectedly, posing laceration and burn hazards. Most double-walled glass tea tumblers are intended to steep tea and keep it warm on-the-go. They were sold from 2007 to 2013 as separate items for about $15 to $33 and for $40 to $100 as part of various gift sets. According to Teavana, the company received over 300 reports of shattered or broken glass, with several customers suffering minor cuts or burns. Consumers are invited to get the glass tumbler replaced by a metal one. Further 24,850 tea tumblers are being recalled in Canada.
