Tim Hortons is recalling thousands of colour-changing ceramic mugs due to safety concerns, following reports that the mugs may crack or break when filled with hot liquids, posing a burn risk to consumers. As of March 10, 2026, there have been 28 incident reports and one burn injury related to the mugs, prompting the company to take immediate action.
The recall affects a specific 16oz white ceramic mug with a pink interior and handle, featuring a doughnut design. These mugs were sold in Tim Hortons restaurants and online between January 15 and February 18, 2026, with a total of 25,040 units sold in Canada during that period.
Tim Hortons has stated, “Tim Hortons has voluntarily removed these mugs from sale out of an abundance of caution.” Customers are instructed to return the mugs by April 22, 2026, for a full refund. This proactive measure aligns with the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, which prohibits recalled products from being given away, redistributed, or sold.
The mugs were produced in China by Anbo Home Goods (Shenzen) Co. and brought into Canada by Umbra. The decision to recall the mugs underscores the company’s commitment to consumer safety and the importance of addressing potential hazards promptly.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further actions that may be taken by Tim Hortons or Health Canada in response to this incident. The company continues to monitor the situation closely and is expected to provide updates as necessary.
