A heads up for whiskey drinkers, a recall issued this August might affect you. While no whiskey has been pulled from shelves, a vessel used to hold it has. Fiskars Group has recalled its Royal Doulton Lunar Decanter and Tumbler Set. Pieces in this glass set, the tumblers in particular, “could break during normal use” and “cause a laceration risk to the user,” per New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (Hīkina Whakatutuki). Broken glass and alcohol are not a good combination, so users who own the Royal Doulton Lunar Decanter and Tumbler Set should return it to the point of purchase.
As recall alerts went out in Australia and New Zealand, Fiskars Group issued a statement on the recall. “Fiskars Group has taken action to voluntarily recall the Royal Doulton Lunar Decanter and Tumbler Set,” the statement read. “Fiskars Group has discovered that Royal Doulton’s Lunar Decanter Set, including a crystal decanter and four tumblers (drinking glasses), does not meet our high quality standards. The tumblers in question could break more easily during normal use and cause a laceration risk to the user. We have therefore decided to recall the whole Royal Doulton Lunar Decanter Set.”
