Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your ceramic teacups for floral motifs and one of the following phrases: "booze", "more whiskey please", "hot mess", or "one classy b****".
  2. Look at the bottom of the cup to see if it is a 6-ounce cup marked with "Dishwasher Safe," "Microwave Safe," and "Made in China."
  3. Stop using these teacups immediately, especially in the microwave.
