The recalled Tea Sets were manufactured in China and imported by Formation Brands LLC, of South San Francisco, California.
Sparking from the metallic decorations on the tea sets can result if used in a microwave oven, posing a risk of fire. To date, International Coffee & Tea has received one report from a consumer of a tea cup sparking when used in a microwave oven. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the Tea for One “Flourish” design tea pot set, which includes a stackable teapot and cup. The teapot and cup are white ceramic with matching metallic foil decorations on each. The tea cup is marked “Dishwasher and microwave safe” and “Made in China” on the bottom, in English and French.
The recalled Tea Sets were sold exclusively at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores in California, Arizona, and Nevada for about $12, and online at www.coffeebean.com for about $10, from March 2010 through August 2010.
