    Nestlé says it is recalling more than 440,000 Starbucks mugs that were recently sold, following reports of at least a dozen people suffering severe burns or cuts on their hands or fingers after using the product.

    The mugs were manufactured by Nestlé USA and sold as part of a 2023 holiday Starbucks-branded gift set sold online and at Target, Walmart and Nexcom, a military retail outlet, according to a recall notice posted on Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

    The ceramic mugs with metallic coating were sold online and in stores from November 2023 through January 2024 — ranging in price from $10 to $20, depending on the gift set — and in two sizes, 11 and 16 ounces, the CPSC said.

    In a separate statement posted online, Nestlé said it discovered the problems with the mugs when consumers contacted the company.

    The holiday mugs, if microwaved or filled with a hot liquid, can overheat or break — posing the risk of burns, cuts or other hazards, the CPSC said.

    The CPSC urged consumers to stop using the mugs immediately and return them to the point of purchase for a full refund in cash or a gift card.
