The hazard
The product is made of tempered glass that may not sufficiently withstand thermal shock if it is scratched, for example by stacking, cleaning in the dishwasher and/or with abrasive sponges. This can cause the glass to break at its weakest point, potentially leading to the splattering of near-boiling liquid over hands or other limbs, causing injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive.
