Drinking glasses pose laceration hazard

- By Peter Hadzipetros
About 2,200 sets of QVC drinking glasses are being voluntarily recalled, the U.S. Consumer Safety Product Commission has announced.
The inner walls of the glasses can shatter during use, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
QVC has received 11 incident reports, with two consumers indicating they received lacerations to the hand.
The glasses are sold in sets of four in eight-ounce and 13-ounce sizes through QVC on television and online from June 2006 through July 2006.
Consumers are advised to stop using the glasses immediately. QVC will refund the price of the glasses.
