Boston Warehouse Trading Corp. Recalls Holiday Travel Mugs Due to Fire Hazard; Sold Exclusively at Meijer Stores

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boston Warehouse Trading Corp. is recalling about 2,400 Holiday Travel Mugs with Lids because they are incorrectly labeled as microwave safe. The mugs feature metallic gold lettering that can spark if placed in a microwave, creating a fire hazard. One report of sparking has already been received, though no injuries have been reported. These 7-inch tall mugs were sold in red/white and green/white color combinations exclusively at Meijer stores between October 2019 and November 2019. Consumers should return the mugs to any Meijer store for a full refund.

Risk

The gold metallic lettering on the mugs is conductive; when placed in a microwave, the metal decal can cause electrical sparking and arcing, which poses a fire hazard to the home.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately identify if you have the 7-inch tall 'Holiday Travel Mugs' with black lids. Affected mugs have a white top half and a red or green bottom half, featuring gold metallic decals that say 'Let it Snow' or 'Merry and Bright'.
  2. Check the bottom of the mug (the backstamp) and the original wrap band for the words 'Microwave safe' — if your mug has this label and the gold metallic lettering, it is included in this recall.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled mugs and do NOT place them in a microwave.
  4. Return the recalled mugs to any Meijer store for a full refund.
  5. Alternatively, contact Boston Warehouse Trading Corp. toll-free at 888-923-2982 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, email customer.service@bwtc.com, or visit www.bwtc.com and click on 'recall' at the top of the page for more information.
