More than 440,000 Starbucks mugs recalled after reports of injuries from overheating and breakage

More than 440,000 Starbucks mugs are being recalled after reports that the drink containers can overheat and break, leading to burns and other injuries. 

The mugs were manufactured by Nestlé USA and sold as part of 2023 holiday Starbucks-branded gift sets at Target, Walmart and the military retail outlet Nexcom. 

The gift sets were sold online and in stores from November 2023 through January 2024 for about $10, $13 or $20, depending on the gift set, according to the recall notice posted Thursday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In a separate statement, Nestlé USA said it discovered the problems with the mugs when consumers contacted the company.
