      On October 10, 2024, I submitted a warranty request for consumer support to Anchor-Hocking concerning two sets of their AH glass storage containers (refer to the attached correspondence). The quality of their glass storage containers is subpar. Initially, I communicated with *** ******** from their **************************** Over the past six months, I have been in contact with ***, who has consistently failed to fulfill her promise regarding a replacement. As of now, there has been no resolution to my issue. I am profoundly disappointed by the lack of consideration shown to me as a consumer.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Anchor Hocking glassware products have been a reliable part of households worldwide for generations.  Product quality continues to be our highest priority.  

      We were contacted by ***** ***** on October 10, 2024, stating his Anchor Hocking bowls were chipping. Mr. ***** contacted again on Oct 14, 2024,wanting to know if he needed to resubmit his message. Anchor Hocking responded to Mr. ***** on October 25, 2024, explaining the possible cause for the chipping and to return the three (3) chipped bowls for product analysis. He was provided with a *** label, and it was listed in our message when the analysis was completed Anchor Hocking would be in contact with the resolution to this matter.

      We never received the chipped bowls or heard from Mr. ***** again until March 6, 2025.  We explained to ******** we could not track his return shipment as it had passed the *** time limit of 125 days. We then asked Mr. ***** to provide the item information for the set and as a courtesy, replacements would be issued with our compliments.  He responded on March 11, 2025. providing the requested information.  Mr. ***** was advised he could expect delivery within 6-8 weeks. On March 21, 2025, he again contacted wanting his new tracking information.  We responded due to our busy work that his order had not shipped, and that information was not available to date.  We also advised we were still within our estimated delivery time frame of 6-8 weeks. 

      Mr. Smiths request has now shipped and again it is within the 6-8 week estimated time frame. His *** tracking number is 1Z4780780396299934.  This shipment is scheduled to be delivered on April 9, 2025.

      On Christmas morning 12/25/24 I was making breakfast casserole like I always do for my family on Christmas. The Anchor Hocking dish I always use exploded in my oven. This dish has been reliable previous years and baked at the same temperature and no issues till this Christmas. The glass pan exploded in our oven. In return my family was unable to eat our traditional casserole this year. We spent over $40 on our ingredients and now afraid to use our anchor hocking glass dish set.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Anchor Hocking bakeware products have been a safe and reliable part of households worldwide for generations.  Product quality continues to be our highest priority.  

      The material used in glass bakeware in the marketplace is soda-lime-silicate glass, which has been subjected to a manufacturing process known as tempering.  It is the same process used to produce tempered safety glass found in many windows or glass shower doors, etc.  A characteristic common to this glass is the manner in which it breaks.  It will generally break into many smaller rounded pieces, some larger, which are less likely to cause serious injury.A warning on our care/use/warranty, bakeware packaging and Bakeware Facts on our website describes this mode of failure.

      For over forty years tempered bakeware has been in the home we have a failure rate of less than two-thousandths of one percent (*****%) from the millions and millions of bakeware that has been sold. Additionally, with approximately 700 million pieces of manufactured tempered soda-lime glass bakeware being sold in the ** in the last 10 years and each piece used multiple times per year by the consumer there are minimal unsubstantiated claims of injuries from glass bakeware unexpectedly breaking or shattering, as reported by National Electronic Injury Surveillance Survey (*****).   The information provided by ***** is used by product safety experts to assess the risk of consumer products.

      Anchor Hockings glass bakeware products are manufactured in full compliance with industry standards set by Cookware *****************. For additional information regarding tempered bakeware products visit ****************************************************

      We are sorry to hear of the problem Mr. **** **** experienced with his baking dish.  It is important to Anchor Hocking when we hear of a problem to determine the cause of the incident.  Therefore, we ask if the damaged dish (as much as possible, unclean) is available to return it to us for product analysis.Our care/use/warranty, bakeware packaging, and Bakeware Facts on our website list if you have a broken Anchor Hocking product, please be sure to keep all pieces of the product (pictures will not determine the cause of the incident).  If **** **** contacts us a *** return label will be provided.  Unfortunately, without having the glass for product analysis we are unable to determine the cause of the incident and verify it is an Anchor Hocking bakeware product. Once the analysis is completed, we will be in contact with **** **** regarding any additional requested compensation he may be entitled to.

      Because we would like **** **** to use Anchor Hocking products, if he provides the size and shape of the dish a replacement will be issued with our compliments.  **** **** may then expect delivery within the next few weeks.  

      Finally,manufacturers of tempered soda-lime-silicate bakeware, including Anchor Hocking, have studied, and evaluated the safety of glass bakeware. Making the bakeware stronger, more durable with fewer injuries has been and continues to be a top priority for the Anchor Hocking Company.

      Dear BBB,

      Anchor Hocking bakeware products have been a safe and reliable part of households worldwide for generations.

      Without having Mr. **** Hills damaged glass for product analysis, we have not been given the opportunity to determine if the cause of the failure was due to a manufacturing defect or something beyond our control.  We were also unable to verify if it was an Anchor Hocking bakeware product.  Anchor Hockings care/use/warranty, bakeware packaging, and Bakeware Facts on our website states do not dispose of damaged product.  We also state additional damages are excluded.

      Without having Mr. Hills glassware for product analysis, we decline to offer his compensation request.

       Because we would like Mr. **** to use Anchor Hocking bakeware as a courtesy, we have issued a 3-quart baking dish with our compliments.  Mr. **** may expect delivery within the next few weeks.

      Again, thank you for corresponding with the Anchor Hocking and if you have further questions regarding this matter please contact.

      On Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, I was taking my Anchor casserole dish out of the oven when it exploded in my hands, sending small shards of glass everywhere in my kitchen. I am the mother of two twin infants and had a dog, all the kitchen at the time. This created tremendous anxiety that turned into anger that my casserole dish is not heat-resistant in a 450-degree oven which is standard for cooking. The glass shattered inside my oven, in the drawers and on the floor.The company's response telling me, hey! It only breaks in small pieces angers me even more and offers no apology or acknowledgement of what happened."We would like you to know the material used in glass bakeware is soda lime glass, which has been subjected to a manufacturing process known as tempering. It is the same process used to produce tempered safety glass found in many windows or glass shower doors, etc. A characteristic common to this glass is the manner in which it breaks. It will generally break into many smaller rounded pieces (some larger), which are less likely to cause serious injury," *** ********, Consumer Affairs, wrote Oct. 29.I want a refund of my three-piece casserole dish set or I want you to send me a new set. Your company creates a substandard project and staffs with a "consumer affairs" specialist who did not respond with an ounce of human empathy.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      Anchor Hocking bakeware products have been a reliable and safe part of households worldwide for generations.

      We received an email from ********* ****** regarding a problem she experienced with her baking dish. Ms. ******* message listed the baking temperature used was 450F.  We responded by telling her this baking temperature is beyond the maximum temperature of 425F as listed on our care/use/warranty (included with bakeware purchase), along with our bakeware packaging, and Bakeware Fact on our website.  

      Ms. ****** responded to our message stating she would keep this information in mind for future purchases. Seems like you do not make reliable and safe products that fit regular customer baking needs.

      ********************** bakeware has proven to meets consumers baking needs and is safe and reliable.  However, it is not without limitations and like all glass, it can break.  If a problem occurs with our tempered bakeware the glass generally breaks into many smaller and some larger pieces.  These pieces have proven to be less likely to cause severe injury.   

      Regardless of the safety measures taken by Anchor Hocking to strengthen and ensure the quality of our products, a 450F baking temperature exceeds our maximum baking temperature of 425F. Properly using Anchor Hockings bakeware is a critical step in maintaining its integrity and safety. All care/use/warranty instructions must be followed.

       Due to the failure to follow our care/use/warranty instructions by exceeding the maximum 425F baking temperature we decline to offer Ms. ******* reimbursement request.

      However, as a courtesy if Ms. ****** would like a replacement Anchor Hocking baking dish if she provides the shape and capacity size of the dish we will send a replacement with our compliments.

      Ms. ****** may then expect delivery within the next 6-8 weeks.

      Sincerely,

      Anchor Hocking bakeware products have been a safe and reliable part of households worldwide for generations.

      We have received an email from ***** ***** and a Better Business report from ***** ***** having the same email address regarding a problem experienced with her baking dish. Additionally, we cannot find a record of a phone conversation with Ms. ***** regarding this matter.  However, her comment regarding our response to her concern has been reviewed with our phone representatives.

      In our email message to Ms. *****, we explained that Anchor Hocking bakeware products have been subjected to a manufacturing process known as tempering.  It is the same process used to produce tempered safety glass found in many windows or glass shower doors, etc.  A characteristic common to this glass is the manner in which it breaks.  It will generally break into smaller and some larger rounded pieces, which are less likely to cause serious injury.

      It is also important to Anchor Hocking when we hear of a problem to determine the cause of the incident.    We asked Ms. ***** if the damaged glass was available to have it returned for product analysis. Anchor Hocking’s care/use/warranty and bakeware packaging states do not dispose of damaged product. A UPS return label would also be provided.  To date we have not received an email response from Ms. ***** regarding this matter.  Unfortunately, without having the glass for product analysis we are unable to determine the cause of the incident.

      We also stated a replacement baking dish would be issued with our compliments.  Because Ms. ***** has now requested a refund of $10.00 for the dish it will be issued as a courtesy.  She may expect the reimbursement within the next 9-12 weeks. 

      Finally, manufacturers of tempered soda-lime-silicate bakeware, including Anchor Hocking, have studied, and evaluated the safety of glass bakeware. Making the bakeware stronger, more durable with fewer injuries has been and continues to be a top priority for the Anchor Hocking Company.

      I purchased a 4 cup Anchoring Hocking glass measuring cup at ******** It had all the measuring amounts on the cup in red. I have used in microwave and washed in the dishwasher. I know its a dishwasher safe cup, so Im wondering why its this way. Not the useful without the markings. Also, I have an Anchorfive ounce measure cup that shows ounces, teaspoons and ml measurements. No red marking on it either. I will be glad to send them to you for your inspection. Thank you for your help in this problem.

      Business Response

      Thank you for taking the time to contact the Anchor Hocking Company.

      Anchor Hocking strives to maintain high quality standards to produce the finest glassware available in the marketplace today and in the future.

      The removal and/or fading of the enamel on Ms. ****** measuring cup and glass is not due to the manufacturing of the measuring cup or a manufacturing defect. Since the mid 2000s the United ***************** and Proposition 65 mandated all US glass manufacturers must use high fire enamels on all decorated products. High fire enamels are less vibrant in color and in durability.

      No matter what US glass manufacturer produces decorated products including measuring cups and glass since the mid 2000s there will no longer be years and years of durability from the high fire enamels.

      Anchor Hocking suggests avoiding using high power gel pacs, citric acid dishwashing detergent, citric acid additives and Lemi Shine. These products can accelerate removal and fading of high fired enamels.Hand washing with a non-citric acid dishwashing detergent will help extend the life of the high fired enamels on decorated glassware products.

      Additionally, our five-year bakeware warranty states we will replace the glass bakeware within 5 years of purchase. The warranty does not include the removal and/or fading of the enamels. However, because we would like ************** to continue to use Anchor Hocking products as a courtesy, we will send a replacement measuring cup and glass with our compliments.

      ************** may expect delivery of the measuring cup and glass within the next 6-8 weeks.

I received no reply. I telephoned and left a voicemail last night. For three business hours I received no callback so I dialed in again. Business to business answered but had to transfer me to consumer affairs. Consumer affairs did not answer but played a message asking for up to 48 hours for a returned call. Enough waiting.

      I ordered the set of 12 pieces the two largest bakeware sets I received were both broken. I tried filing a claim the 1800 number simply will not pick up the phone when it comes to a warranty claim. When you call another department about it they get very angry but they are the only ones who pick up the phone. I finally made my claim on August 8th it is September 20th at the time of my writing this. When I contacted them on the 8th they said "expect a 4-5 week wait for your replacement" we are now going on week 6 and I cant get anyone on the phone or anyone to answer my emails.

      Anchor Hocking glassware products have been a safe and reliable part of households worldwide for generations.  We strive to understand and resolve all product issues. 

      *** ****** first contacted us on August 8, 2023, asking for replacement dishes.   We responded if he provided the size of the dishes along with his address replacements would be issued.  We received our requested information and replied to *** ****** again on August 9, 2023, that he could expect delivery of the replacements within the next 4-5 weeks.

      September 19, 2023, *** ****** contacted wanting to know the status of his replacement request as it was over 5 weeks.  We responded that due to severe staffing and stock issues there was a delay in sending his request.  We asked to allow an additional 10-14 days in receiving his request.


      Checking the status of *** ******’s request, the replacements have been shipped and delivered on September 23, 3023.  The request was shipped by UPS tracking number ******************.

      Sincerely,

      Anchor Hocking Company

      Anchor Hocking received your second report from ***** ******.
      We spoke to ***** ****** on September 29,2023 regarding his concern with his replacement bakeware dishes. As explained to *** ****** the aesthetic marks on that bottom of his dishes are from our molds. The marks occur over time to the molds as they age. The molds are still useable, and these aesthetic marks will be noticeable in our bakeware products until the molds are retired.

      The aesthetic marks again are visual imperfections that will not affect the usage of the glassware and within Anchor Hocking’s tolerance packing range. After our explanation *** ****** stated his bakeware leaks at the marking sites.

      We asked for the bakeware to be returned for product analysis. *** ****** stated he would if we sent him a prepaid shipping label. The label was emailed to *** ******’s on September 29, 2023. When the analysis is completed, Anchor Hocking will be in contact with *** ****** with our analysis findings.  Additionally, we offered a refund or replacements (will have the aesthetic marks) and wait for *** ******’s reply.

      Sincerely,
      Anchor Hocking Company

      I am rejecting this response because: you claim they are fire markings when I just want a product that isnt damaged.

      I puchased a 30pc Snugfit Glass Storage set from ******* on 05/18/2023. Right out of the box one of the '4 cup' dishes had a chip in the lip. Sharp and dangerous. Their QC leaves much to be desired, in addition to their lack of packing materials. The warranty packet that comes with the set only lists Anchor Hocking's website as the warranty contact. No phone number, and no specific method to contact them regarding just warranties. Very inconvenient to not have a dedicated message center for warranty claims. I doubt I'll ever hear from them. This will be the last AH product I buy. But I paid for it, so I want a replacement.
