For the past month, Starbucks has been selling glass water bottles in its coffee shops – but not anymore. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the company decided to stop selling the product because several customers reported injuries. Starbucks says 10 customers reported cuts when the glass stopper or bottle shattered.
Starbucks sold more than 11,000 in the United States and 1,200 were sold in Canada. However, the coffee shop is not the only place the bottles were available. They were also on sale at Target and Safeway. Right now there’s no word from either of those companies on if they plan to stop selling the product.
Those who bought a bottle can return them to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. Starbucks will also give anyone returning the bottles a free drink of any size. For more information, call Starbucks weekdays between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. at (877)492-6333.
