Kmart shopper's warning about $4.50 product after injury: 'Won't be buying again'

One Kmart shopper has shared a warning with other homeware buyers after she suffered an injury when doing the dishes and cleaning a common household product with a cloth. The shopper explained she had bought a six-pack of glass cups from Kmart and when wiping down one with a cloth it broke in her hands, cutting two of her fingers.

The mum said she was glad she was the one who was handling the glasses and not her daughter who usually helps her with the dishes.

"Just a warning about these six pack of glass cups from Kmart. I was doing the dishes and cleaning out one of the glasses with a cloth and it broke, cutting two of my fingers," the user posted. "Won't be buying these again! Lucky it was me doing the dishes and not my daughter who normally helps out and does them for me because she may have gotten cut a lot worse!"

The six pack of glass cups are currently stocked at Kmart and retails for $4.50.

Other Kmart shoppers shared their own experiences with the cheap glasses, with one saying they had to go to urgent care to have their injury looked at.

"Same thing happened to me with these same glasses!" they said. "Cut my finger and had to go urgent care to get it fixed up."

"Same thing happened to me when I owned these glasses! Super thin and fragile, even though you are careful they still break super easy!" another reported. "Were you using hot water?" another person queried. "I had these and found they broke when I washed them in hot water."

"There’s been LOTS of reports of Kmart glasses breaking like this. Report it to Kmart online they will at least refund the purchase," someone else advised.

Another person shared an injury from a few years ago, after also being cut by the cheap glass. "Kind of hard to see but I did the exact same thing with the shorter version about 4 years ago," they said. "Thankfully the patch of skin was only 4/5 removed. Will never make that mistake again!"

Some Kmart shoppers defended the glassware, saying they never had an issue with them.

"Wow I’ve been using mine for two years now and I use every day," one person wrote. "I've had these for years and never had an issue," another person said. "I am sorry to hear of your terrible experience!"

"I chuck mine in the dishwasher and they’re good," someone else shared. "To be fair, they’re legit $4.50 and you can feel how thin they are. It’s kinda to be expected," another person pointed out.
