I took a pyrex baking dish out of a 350 degree oven.I then set it on the counter top. Suddenly the dish exploded into a thousand pieces more no reason.This dish was only about 6 months old. It was frightening!

My husband roasted a chicken in the oven in a pyrex dish. He took it out when the chicken was done, and the dish exploded when he put it on the counter. The glass shattered everywhere and ruined the whole dinner. We are afraid to ever use Pyrex again.

My "oven safe" Pyrex baking dish exploded in the oven while baking at 425. No dramatic change in temperature, no thermal shock, just plain old baking. Lucky nobody was hurt and we simply threw it away, but it appears as if this is a pretty common occurrence based on the # of complaints. You really shouldn't be able to put "over safe" on something that explodes in the oven.

I was baking with my pyrex 9 x 13 glass bakeware and it exploded in the oven.

I was using my Pyrex Glass Baking Dish 9x13 cooking a roast, went to open the oven to check on it and it explored right in my face. The noise was so loud my husband came rushing in to see what happen. It was such a hugh mess on my hardwood floor and in my oven. This product should not be sold anymore. This product will cause injures.

I was making an angelfood cake in the oven in an 8.5 x 11 Pyrex pan and when I took it out and placed it on the counter next to my uncooked meatballs, it exploded. Glass went everywhere in my kitchen. It went all over my meatballs as well. My dinner was SCREWED.

I was baking brownies and heard a pop followed by a crash in the kitchen, i went in to see what all the fuss was about and there it was in the oven, an exploded 8X8 pyrex baking pan. This occured about 15 minutes into a 31 minute baking time for what could have been delicious brownies ;( but delicious brownies they were not! in their place i hace sharp glass shards to pick up! i had to by some brownies. no real damage, but when things like this go unreported companies never might even know they are a problem.

First of all, I have for many years used your product. Pyrex has always been known to be very safe and oven proof. I was cooking dinner for my family and guests, a roast, and just when I was ready to take it out of the oven, the glass shattered and my roast had to be thrown out. Glass was all over the oven and I was very surprised that your product could do such a thing. I am very hesitant in purchasing another Pyrex dish. What could of happened?? I feel that your Company should send me a new one with an explanation as to what could of happend to your Product! Thank God no one was injured......

Baking pork chops in the oven and the dish just exploded. Broken glass all over the place. I took pictures. I'll send them to the prostitute lawyers who wrote that flowery "response" in which they ignored all the documented instances of exploding pyrex. Don't use this stuff!!!

Dana of New York, NY January 26, 2010

My husband was baking chicken in the pyrex dish as he alway does but this time as he was taking it out of the oven it exploded in his hand, cut his arm down to the bone and glass was everywhere - all of the floor, flew in the air, covered the oven
