Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220111-84990-2147358050. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Anchor Hocking Anchor Hocking 1-cup Glass Measuring Cup. Incident: I placed an Anchor Hocking glass baking dish in the oven with 6 rolls to bake at 350 for 13 minutes. At around 12 minutes I peeked in the oven to see if they had browned yet, they had not so i closed the door and decided to wait until the 13 min mark about 2 minutes later I heard a loud sound from the oven and to my complete horror when I opened the oven door there were pieces of glass everywhere and still making sounds so i closed the door quickly and turned the oven off. If i had opened the oven door to check on the doneness of the rolls as it exploded, i can only imagine what could have happened, as i am a nurse and have seen a lot. This could have not only blinded me but also burned and possibly could have killed me in the case a shard had penetrated my carotid which is not out of the realm of posssibilities and if i had been taking it out and holding it something fatal could have happened and to my utter dismay find almost 17-18 pages on this site with complaints about the same Anchor Hocking glass baking dish that states that it is made for baking and sold as such. I am so lucky to not have been seriously injured or blinded or disfigured or burned. This is beyond my comprehension.
