Altar'd State is recalling approximately 14,000 monogrammed 16-ounce coffee mugs because they are incorrectly labeled as microwave safe. The mugs feature gold-painted monograms and metallic accent rims that can spark if placed in a microwave, posing a fire hazard. There has been one report of a mug sparking during use, though no injuries have been reported. These white ceramic mugs were sold at Altar'd State stores nationwide from October 2015 through December 2015.
The metallic gold paint used for the monograms and rim accents can spark and ignite when heated in a microwave, which could lead to a fire. This defect exists despite a black label on the bottom of the mug incorrectly stating it is 'Microwave/Dishwasher Safe'.
The remedy is not available. Destroy and discard this product. The firm does not have the financial resources to fund the recall.
