A Recall for this, Really?

I wrote about recalls back in August.  My favorite part is why an item is being recalled.

Take this coffee mug for example.  It's recalled because the little silver embellishment there causes a spark in the microwave. 

Now, I am all for recalling things that are hazardous to consumers.  But, recalling things because people are stupid enough to put metal in their microwave; well, I guess I just have to draw a line somewhere. 

So, just in case no one ever told you, DO NOT put metal of any kind in your microwave.  It will spark and possibly cause a fire!  In case you're wondering, this rule applies to fast food wrappers that have foil, like Arby's.  Yes, I speak from personal experience.

I will say that if the mug had a note on the bottom stating "microwave safe" it was a valid recall.  Otherwise, you just can't help folks who put those cups in their microwaves.
