" the whole reason we wanted these plates and bowls so that we have broken glass everywhere where our kids can get hurt."
Shame on you!. You should take better care of your children.

I VE BEEN USING COREELE DINNERSET FOR A LONG TIME NOW.AS THE NAME ALWAYS SAY 'UNBREAKABLE'.
BUT TO MY HORROR ONE OF MY DINNER PLATE BROKE INTO PIECES AS IT SLIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS JUST FALLING FROM "TWO FEET" HEIGHT.KINDLY LOOK INTO THE MATTER .

Product purchased about 6 months ago at Corelle outlet store in Gilroy. Yesterday, my wife served lunch to my son and as she placed the plate on the table, it cracked and shattered. Today, I witnessed the same thing happening as she served breakfast.

You have a 1 year warranty on the cups.

i bought Inalsa Maxie plus in july 2011. it worked well for almost six months. but after that its jars started making noise. the noise is so loud that i have to close my kitchen door before operating it. i called customer care n the technician that came told me that u hv to run the grinder with lid open for atleast half minute after every wash. "THATS PATHETIC". since then I have to call technician every month for the servicing of the jars.

now arises another problem: cracking of the plastic part of chutnney jar. while the product was still in warranty period, technician said that company will not agree that the part broke by itself so u have to buy the part i.e. "expense of Rs250".
soon after replacing it plastic part of other jar also started cracking...
Now the product is still in warranty period AND now when i lifed the grinder body for cleaning purpose, the whole body cracked.

I agree,

It is misleading not to provide such detail.

Corelle plates shatter. They slid on to my wood floor and I am still picking the glass from arms and leg. Just be careful they do not break like a regular dish. I will not rebuy, Scarry

My husband just took a small corelle dinner plate out of the cu be brpboard & it slipped out of his hands & shattered into a million pieces!I thought corelle was supposed to be break proof & chip proof...very dangerous thank goddness the kids weren't close by!

I purchase 2 yrs ago. They look brand new but I recently put my food on it to heat up in microwave for a min, min 1/2 and about 50 sec into it the plate just exploded. I have never seen a plate do this. It just didn't shatter into big pieces it literally exploded into slivers of little pieces. This was a large dinner plate. Very disappointed.. The bowls chip all around the bowl too. I wonder what materials they are using now for this too happen and are they even safe too eat off of. Yrs ago you could drop them and nothing would happen now we don't know what we are eating off of.

My Husband tripped and fell, he had a corelle plate in his hand . He landed face first into the plate, the plate shattered to a million pieces. We have to call an ambulance and take him to the ER. The doctors had to work over an hour and a half removing the glass shards from his face. He has stitches in his head and lip and a broken nose. The cuts on his nose were so severe they could not even stitch it. They had to remove pieces of cartilage from his face. He will be scarred for life from this plate. We called corelle to inform them what happened and the agent laughed at him on the phone. Needless to say we have called our lawyer.

i had bought corelle dinnerset 2 months before hearing that this is break, chip and stain resistant. but just after few days the corner of the bowl broke and the crockery started having stains of steel colour. i feel cheated and my Rs12500 have wasted. I request plz donot buy Corelle.

I have used Corelle for over 20 years and have never experienced any problems. . .until last night. I was placing a plate on top of another one when the bottom one EXPLODED into tiny little shards. They left bloody dings in my stomach (closest to the plates), arms, and face. The shards were EVERYWHERE! I'm still debating about replacing them because I've always loved my Corelle. But today I did the dishes and I winced at every plate and bowl I touched. Maybe I will replace them all. A friend said to stay away from Pyrex, as well. I think they're the same company.

I dropped a bowl and it shattered into THOUSANDS of tiny, very sharp pieces. We did what we could and thought we got them all... we were wrong. I stepped on one and couldn't get it out. Ended up having to go to the ER and THEY couldn't get it out. I don't have insurance, and can't afford a specialist, as was suggested. Has anyone tried to sue Corelle?

I've had two dishes explode when dropped - one a dinner plate the other a bowl. I'm getting rid of it all as it's unsafe. Just very glad no grandchildren around at the time as it went everywhere

I purchased 2 sets of dishes from Corelle because they are advertised as chip and break resistant. I was washing one of the smaller plates yesterday and it cracked into several pieces. I could not believe it. I will not be purchasing Corelle any longer.

I had my lunch all fixed with my sandwich sitting on a plate and I heard a PING! The plate exploded while it was just sitting there. It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen.

I love the weight and easy storage of Corelle. I have had a set for about 20 years. Once many years ago I sat a plate on a solid surface stove (stove was off, but still warm) and the plate exploded. I blamed myself for that. Recently, however, there have been two times when a plate was placed in the sink and left overnight. Nothing sitting on them and no temp changes. But in the morning, a broken plate in the sink. Now not loving these quite so much.

Just had a fairly new (we have had them almost exactly 2 years, bought new) plate completely shatter into a gazillion tiny SHARP shards when dropped from the height of a 5 or 6 year old holding it at about chest height. (my short for his age 7 year old was carrying it) It spread thru the hallway and into a nearby room as well as part of the livingroom near the hall. My son has a small cut in his foot, but luckily that is it (we picked him up and removed him from the shards immediately) but it could have been much much worse.

I just googled "Corelle plates exploding" and came across this site. Last week a Corelle plate exploded with a sandwich on it. The plate was in my hand when this happened, and it was room temperature. I just took the sandwich out of the fridge. Pieces went flying in the air and ended up all over the kitchen floor. I could not believe what was happening. Pictures of the aftermath are attached. I had cleaned up the mess on the floor before I even thought to take them. I have offered the plate and remnants to Corelle, so we'll see what they say.

I was in the kitchen after dinner and had not cleared the dishes. I heard a crashing sound, but I did not know where it came from so I thought I imagined it. Later on, I walked past the table again and saw that a bowl I had used at dinner was shattered. No one had touched it or had gone near it since dinner, but it was broken so that must have been the sound I heard earlier.

I'll add to the disturbing stories here: Last night I put a Corelle plate on an electric burner on my range to heat the plate up a bit before plating food; I've never done this before with these plates, but didn't expect what happened shortly after I jacked up the temp on the burner (should not have done that, admittedly) to hasten the warming. I had just plated the food, when there was a LOUD bang and the plate literally exploded all over the kitchen into both large and small shards. Fortunately, I was not in the way (a miracle, really), and there were glass shards everywhere. It was quite the mess.

Interestingly enough just last week I watched a show on PBS' NOVA exploring materials; among other things they showed interesting things about glass and how glass behaves. They showed what happens when hot molten glass is placed on a tempered glass sheet. Not long after the hot blob was placed on the glass, the entire sheet shattered. I believe what happened last night was a similar phenomenon that is common to tempered glass.

I just have a plate explode in the microwave. Very bizarre.

My 4 years old Corelle bowl was just washed in tap water and left to dry on the rack for about 30 minutes. Heard a loud snap and noticed a bowl in the middle of some bowls had snapped into half. Missing bits from the corner I’ll now have to hunt for them. I’m always very careful and gentle with the bowls.
From my understanding, these bowls are made from glass instead of the usual ceramic, and in order to make it strong, they use a tempering technique, where the exterior of the glass is cooled and hardened before the interior does, so it creates a lot of internal tension which actually strengthens the bowl, that is until there is a flaw, like a microscopic scratch or a crack, then everything goes into a rapid disassembly, in other words explodes.
When I tried to match the 2 pieces together, they fit perfectly in the middle, but not along the edges of the bowl. Shows how much tension there is in the structure. I’m thinking of getting rid of all my Corelle stuff now after reading all the other stories.

Dropped a small bowl today 4/7/23. Explodes. Picture below. Literally seeing you can’t even move one inch without puncturing your foot. Ruins half your day chasing pieces over 20x20’ area. Thats 400 sq feet of shards! From tiny bowl.

Opposite of shatterproof!

Explosive shatter! Gets me so angry to see this happen for the 4th time!

I am Robert Leverington. I ordered a 3-quart casserole dish, order #[protected] and when I received it, the handle was broken. My question is, how do you want to handle this? I would appreciate a replacement for the broken one.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

when i dumping hot food from pot to room temperature plate, it exploded in front of me

Microwaved bowl for nachos 12/02/2022 went to sit it down and it shattered leaving rim of bowl partially intact on counter dropped nachos on the floor threw pieces fairly far. I've never seen something break quite like that. Odd breakage pattern.

I have 3 different corelle dinner sets and never had a problem with them. Last week, however, one of my bakeware dishes exploded in the oven! I heard a loud smash and didn't realise until the oven timer went off a few minutes later. The corelle vitrelle bakeware was less than 2 years old and not used very often either. I was mortified at the amount of small pieces that blew around and settled in the oven. An absolute nightmare to clean, food wasted and now I'm paranoid about using my other corelle pieces. Feeling anxious.

I ordered the 10.5 inch plates... Imani Dinber plates! There was supposed to come with six in each box! I only got 5 in each box! I am missing 2 plates! Please advise!

Thank you

Our 2 dishes of Corelle got broken and we have taken photos of it. Kindly check and let us know whether you can replace them

I was so excited to purchase this dish that for my daughter who's moving out for college into her 1st apartment. The dishes arrived with dinner dishes broken in many pieces and one mug was broken in many pieces. Easy to cut my hand on.
Corelle advertises break resistant, really. Now I have to waste time returning these dishes.

The plate broke into many pieces while putting in the sink very unexpected and sad
