Mug lid Recall---16 oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug

We’ve recognized a fault at the cup. The fault might cause some lids to lift slightly from the body of the mug, and could possibly result in injury from hot liquid leaking. So, we have given a lid recall notice immediately. The notice is only related to STARBUCKS 16 oz Stainless Steel Travel Mugs which were sold between November 2012 and February 2013. The bottom of the mug is stamped with “ThermoSServ”, the distributor’s (经销商) name. There is not any printing on the mug handle.

At STARBUCKS, customers’ safety is valued above anything else. Therefore, no matter whether your lid is leaking , in the interest of your safety, we request you bring your mug to your nearest STARBUCKS (excluding Esso STARBUCKS), where they are sure exchange the lid for a new lid that fits well and safely. The new lids are going to be available March 1, 2013.

Don’t use your mug until you exchange the lid, please.

Here’s what you do:

* Please do not use your mug until you have exchanged the lid for a new one.

* New lids will be available March 1, 2013.

* Return your travel mug to a STARBUCKS store.

* Your lid will be exchanged for a new lid.
