Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I highly advise against Glasslock brand of glass container. I (like what seem to be many others) have found thin and extremely dangerous shards of glass in food stored in these containers. The quality of the glass is such that in normal use slivers of sharp glass break off and can easily turn up in food… and your digestive tract!! Earlier this week I warmed up some leftovers stored in one of these pieces in the oven. As I began eating the food in my first bite I felt myself bite down on something hard and sharp. I immediately spit out the bite assuming it was a piece of chicken bone. In the very next bite I bit down again and felt something unusual stuck in my gums between my teeth. Immediately my mouth started bleeding profusely. I am very, very, very glad I did not swallow (at least I hope nothing went down my throat). I ran to the bathroom and was very startled to see blood running heavily from my mouth. I attempted to rinse my mouth and every time I spit it was full of blood. It was absolutely shocking and terrifying. After investigating further I found one of the sources of the stream of blood in the center of my tongue. It was bleeding quickly and continuously. After finally stemming the blood flow I returned to the table to examine my dish and found an extremally dangerous shard of glass, like a needle or razor, amid my food. I was stunned and still am. In checking reviews of Glasslock’s products online I discovered that I was not the first to find shards of glass in their food. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE BEFORE THE PRODUCT IS RECALLED??? This is extremally dangerous. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD SWALLOWED THE SHARD OF GLASS??? It’s terrible to consider. We had several prepared meals stored in these containers and had to throw them all away, which is a real shame and waste. After realizing the serious dangers of this brand of product we do not even want to touch the food that has been in these containers. On top of this I am experiencing pain in my tongue and gums where I was pierced deeply by the glass shards from the container. Again, I am absolutely stunned to learn I am not the first to have experienced glass shards in my food from this product and that Glasslock still distributes this widely for customers and families to continue to use. Even after experiencing this injury and (and food waste!) I am realizing this was the LUCKY outcome! I really hope I did not end up swallowing any glass shards and shudder to think what internal damage or worse I would have faced if I did. This was a very possible outcome. WHY IS THIS PRODUCT STILL ON THE MARKET??? Glasslock is truly putting people’s health and safety at risk. See the attached photos of one of at least 3 shards discovered in my food. And no that’s not ketchup. I should have taken a picture of how much blood was in the sink. So, so glad I didn’t actually swallow this glass. I am done with this product and brand. Pyrex is probably the better choice. Their brand is reputable, over a century old, and made in the USA, unlike Glasslock containers which are made in Korea. Pyrex looks to be lower priced as well. I should add that in contacting Glasslock they were slow to respond and showed little concern for the serious hazards associated with their glassware. This glassware is extremally dangerous and I hope this review will spare others from the same experience I had or potentially much worse!!
