I purchased this product from TJ Maxx a few weeks ago, used for the second time today. I was toward the end of my lunch when I noticed something very hard in my mouth. I picked it out and it was a sliver of glass!!! Luckily I was not injured and did not swallow it (I was about to when I noticed it).

When I got home I washed the glass and lid and examined it, there is a chip that is the exact size of the sliver that I almost swallowed in the rim. I had not nicked, bumped, dropped or done anything in anyway to cause this.I am so freaked out by it because I work in a hospital and I know the devastation a tiny sliver of glass can do to my GI had I swallowed it.

I hove not yet had time to call Kinetic and talk to them about this, I will try and update when I do.If you decide to use it please examine the rim every use.To it's credit it absolutely does not leak because I had soup in it and not a drop was spilled!I wonder if the seal is so tight that it stressed the glass and caused the glass to chip. Or did it have some flaw that caused it to end up in a discount store when it should have gone to the landfill.

UPDATE: As I just stated in my response to comment below, I called Kinetic and they agreed to refund my money, I had the check in about two days. They were great!

Pyrex 6010170 Storage 6-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids Review

I had fairly recently invested in a set of Rubbermaid Premier containers when the news got out about BPA (bisphenol-A) leaching into foods from plastic.

I didn't want to invest in more plastic -- even grades of plastic that are currently considered safe. I decided to go with glass. And I'm glad I did.

This set is one of three that I purchased. I also bought the Pyrex Storage 6-Piece Refrigerator Shape Storage, Clear with Blue Lids and the Pyrex Storage 18-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids. With these three sets together, I feel like I've got plenty for my storage needs for a family of 4.

I had feared that switching to glass -- although the right decision for me from a health-consciousness perspective -- would be the source of some headaches. I imagined having to be overly cautious with the containers, treating them super gently, worrying that they would slip out of the refrigerator and break, wondering how I would stack them in the cabinet without having them all fall down.

To my delight, this hasn't been the case at all. The manufacturer's claim that the glass is light-weight is fair. Obviously, these aren't as light as plastic containers, but they are very manageable.

These pieces are not as attractive as those in Pyrex's more fashionable lines, but I would have no qualms about serving from these at any casual meal. They look much nicer than anything plastic.

The Pyrex lids are, to me, an improvement over the lids that come with Rubbermaid plastic containers. First, each lid has a lip that runs all the way around the outer edge. This allows the bowls to be stacked safely on top of each other, whether in the cabinet or in the refrigerator. The storage bowl on top rests inside the lip of the bowl on bottom and won't slide off.

Also, the design of these lids makes them easier to clean. All the Rubbermaid container lids I've owned have had a very narrow opening on the outside edge where the container fits into the lid. These crevices can trap bits of food (usually sauces gone astray in my experience) and can be very difficult to clean. The Pyrex lids have a wide lip that can easily be wiped out.

Other reasons I am glad I replaced my plastic containers with these:

1. No more concern about harmful chemicals getting into my food.
2. I can microwave leftovers right in the storage container.
3. I can wash these in the top or bottom rack of my diswasher without any worries.
4. I can put fish, tomato sauce, whatever into these and not worry about them retaining stains or odors.

Buying these Pyrex sets was a bit of an investment, but now that we're being told you should replace plastic every few years since it breaks down with use, heat, etc., I figure I will make up the cost in the long run.
