Coffee cups are hazardous because of their glue since it can can lead to bladder and kidney failure when people ingest toxic amounts of the adhesive on the seam of the cup, which dissolves when a hot liquid is poured inside. This adhesive contains melamine, a dangerous chemical primarily used to make plastic and fertilizer.
As you may know, melamine recently made media headlines when it poisoned nearly 1,000 domestic animals in the United States. The chemical was discovered in several pet foods imported from China and caused pain to families and pets across the country.
This type of chemical poisoning has been on some consumers’ minds for years; in fact, there was even an episode of Seinfeld in which George’s fiancee died of glue poisoning after licking one too many wedding invitations! However, the growing concern has not registered with coffee cup manufacturers, who continue to produce products that may harm the public.
Obviously, it is up to each individual to protect themselves and their family from melamine poisoning. Please consider bringing your own cup or thermos to your local coffee shop, and warn everyone you know about the dangers of paper coffee cups.
Has anyone had a coffe pot glass caraffe that broke on the bottom? I had one spill on my son and burn him. Has there been any lawsuits out there? It was aMR Coffee maker.
Greg
Greg,
I have searched for a recall or suit in relation to this but have not been able to find anything. I’ve had a pot to burst at the bottom but it was because it had been left on a burner that had been on for a long time. It made it brittle and caused it to shatter. But I have never had a defective one. That isn’t to say there are not those out there that are defective. If I find any info, I will post it. Thanks for commenting!
My mr. Coffee espresso cappuccino maker exploded today leaving glass and hot coffee everywhere!
