Mr. Christmas Ltd., of Hong Kong, has recalled about 3,700 Mugs. The silver-colored simulated bucket handle below the rim can spark when used in a microwave oven, posing a fire hazard. The recalled product is an orange ceramic mug about 4.5 inches tall with a large vertical cup handle on the side. The mug has the words “The Home Depot,” “Homer’s All-purpose Bucket” and a cartoon character with a utility bucket on the front. A silver-colored simulated bucket handle is just below the rim. The date “2012” and the words “© Mr. Christmas” and “Made in China” are on the underside of the mug.
The mugs were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores during October 2012 for about $5. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mug and return it to a Home Depot store for a full refund. Home Depot; toll-free at (877) 527-0313, then select “Other Brands” at the prompt; from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or www.homedepot.com, then click on “Product Recalls.” The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is still interested in receiving incident or injury reports that are either directly related to this product recall or involve a different hazard with the same product.
