February 9, 2026 — A consumer has reported an alarming incident involving a “Totally Today” brand glass, where the bottom unexpectedly separated from the main body of the glass while being used, leading to an injury. The incident highlights potential safety concerns with the structural integrity of certain consumer glassware.
Product Details
Product: Totally Today
Incident Overview
On January 14, 2026, a consumer reported an incident involving a “Totally Today” brand glass. According to the report, the individual was preparing to take a sip from a glass containing room temperature iced tea when, without warning, the bottom of the glass completely separated from the rest of the vessel. The detached bottom then fell, striking the consumer’s foot. The incident report explicitly states that the glass had no thermal stress (was at room temperature) nor was it subjected to any impact prior to the separation. The specific model of the glass and where it was purchased were not specified in the report.
Safety Concerns
This incident raises significant safety concerns regarding the manufacturing quality and structural integrity of “Totally Today” brand glassware.
- Immediate Dangers: The primary immediate danger is serious injury from sharp glass shards. The incident involved the glass bottom “slamming” onto a foot, which could result in deep lacerations, puncture wounds, bruising, or even broken bones depending on the weight and type of glass. Other body parts, such as hands or legs, could also be vulnerable if similar incidents occur while handling the glass.
- Long-Term Risks: Injuries from broken glass can lead to long-term complications including severe scarring, nerve damage, chronic pain, and an increased risk of infection if not properly treated.
- Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using this type of glassware is at risk, particularly in home environments. Children, who may be less careful in handling items or more prone to being in the vicinity of falling objects, are especially vulnerable to serious injury.
- Property Damage Potential: Beyond personal injury, the sudden breakage could also lead to spills of contents, potentially damaging furniture, flooring, or other household items.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own “Totally Today” brand glassware should exercise extreme caution and consider the following actions:
- Immediate Steps If an Incident Occurs: If a glass breaks unexpectedly and causes injury, immediately seek medical attention. Carefully clean up all glass fragments using gloves and appropriate tools, avoiding direct contact with bare hands. Document the incident with photos and keep the broken product pieces, if safely possible, as evidence.
- Inspecting Your Glassware: Carefully inspect any “Totally Today” branded glassware you own for any visible flaws, cracks, or imperfections, particularly around the base or seams. While the reported incident occurred without prior damage, a thorough visual inspection is always advisable.
- Prevention Measures: Handle all glassware with care. Although the reported incident did not involve thermal shock, it is generally good practice to avoid sudden temperature changes with glass (e.g., pouring very hot liquids into a cold glass or vice versa). If you have concerns about the safety of your “Totally Today” glassware, consider discontinuing its use.
- Reporting Procedures: If you have experienced a similar incident or discover a defect in your “Totally Today” glassware, it is crucial to report it. File a report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. You should also contact the manufacturer directly to make them aware of the issue.
