B&M recalls harvest print mug as it may shatter if hot water is poured into it
A mug has been recalled by a major retailer because of a fundamental problem - it may crack and break if hot liquid is poured into it.
The problem, which fundamentally scuppers the ability to make a cup of tea or coffee, affects B&M’s Harvest Print Glass Mug, which went on sale on July 21.
It has now been recalled, with a note being sent out this week by the government’s Office for Product Safety and Standards, which has said: “The product presents a risk of burns as the bottom of the mug may crack and break when filled with hot liquid.”

While the mug has been taken off the shelves, the OPSS has also recommended that anyone who has already bought one stops using it immediately. They can return it to a B&M store for a full refund even without a reciept.
The mug, which was made in China, has the barcode 1000042398706 and the product code 423987
