Incident: Dear Sir or Madam I am writing to make a revelation for #IKEA tempered glass mug explosion suddenly# under regular use conditions! And hurt my face with 4 stitches and broken my tooth, multiple soft tissue injuries in the body and mild concussion. I just got up to have some water, used IKEA glass mug which made of tempered glass, suddenly it exploded beside the mouth while I was drinking. There are already several IKEA glass explosion accidents before mine in Micro-blog hot searching, But IKEA did not make any corresponding emergency measures and instructions. IKEA is a large multinational, glass mug as its star product with impressive sales. A large number of people use it. Since the glass mug were so widely used, but IKEA did not have to make any cautions and usage direction, even this mug still on sale in IKEA store. The IKEA Store where I bought this mug is dealing with procrastination now, and said cannot identify the responsibility for the accident, and said this product has been sent to have a test and there is no quality problem. If there is no quality problem, why would I be disfigured by used it to just drinking water?The glass mug was not sold only at the one store but also sold around the world, I just want to know if the IKEA could be responsible for the quality and safety of their customer.

As a victim, I know the destructive force of tempered glass mug explosion, and I hope
