Tesco has issued an urgent recall notice for its F&F Glass Latte Mug, warning customers to stop using the product immediately. The supermarket says the item poses a risk of burns and injuries as it may shatter during use, and anyone with the affected product can get a refund.
Risk of burns and injuries
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) said Tesco has recalled the product due to the risk it poses. It stated: "The product presents a risk of burns and injuries as it may shatter during use. If the glass mug breaks while containing a hot beverage, consumers could be burned by the hot liquid or injured by sharp glass fragments."
The OPSS added: "The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005."
Refund details and sales period
The OPSS said: "The product has been recalled from end users by Tesco. If you have purchased the product, stop using it immediately and return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required."
For more information, customers are directed to the Tesco website or Tesco Customer Services on 0800 248 123. The mug, described as a tall glass latte mug with a curved handle, was on sale from September 2025 to August 2026.
Tesco statement on the recall
Tesco said: "As a precautionary measure, Tesco is recalling all batches of its F&F Home Glass Latte Mug purchased between September 2025 to August 2026 inclusive. This is due to a manufacturing issue that may cause the glass mug to break during normal use, posing a risk of injury."
It added: "No other Tesco products are affected by this recall. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused."
The recall follows a similar action by Sainsbury's, which urged customers to stop using three handbag styles over a serious chemical risk. The TU Tote Shopper Bags contain excessive concentrations of phthalates, which the OPSS said may harm children's health and potentially damage the reproductive system.
