Urban Outfitters is recalling approximately 11,640 of its "Cheeky" six-ounce ceramic teacups. These teacups are incorrectly labeled as microwave safe when they actually contain gold paint accents that can spark if microwaved. The firm has received one report of a teacup sparking during use, although no injuries have been reported. The cups were sold in four different styles at Urban Outfitters stores and online from August 2014 through January 2015 for about $16.
The gold painted accents on these teacups can spark when placed in a microwave, posing a fire hazard to your home and a risk of burns.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled teacups and contact Urban Outfitters for instructions on returning the product for a refund.
