Are POKAL glasses safe to use?

Sometimes the effect of a knock or scratch remains in the glass but doesn’t cause it to break immediately. On rare occasions, a damaged edge or a scratched surface can cause tempered glass to shatter suddenly. If a POKAL glass breaks while being filled with a very hot beverage, this can result in scalding or burns.

To reduce the likelihood of this happening, we recommend putting the glass down instead of holding it in the hand when pouring a hot beverage into it. Also, avoid exposing the glass to sudden temperature changes, for example pouring a hot beverage into a cold glass. Damaged or chipped POKAL glasses should not be used.

The above is relevant for the following POKAL glasses:

POKAL glass 27 cl, clear glass and all colours
POKAL glass 35 cl, clear glass and all colours
POKAL glass 65 cl clear glass
