My 3-quart glassware exploded in the oven as I was baking a chicken which had plenty of water placed on the bottom of the pan.

I was making meatloaf with gravy, only the fourth time I had ever used the baking dish. Placed it in the pre-heated oven, removed it when cooked, about an hour later and placed it on top of the stove. I removed the meatloaf and was stirring the sauce before pouring it into a serving dish when it completely exploded sending gravy flying everywhere including all down my leg and also over my entire kitchen. It took me over two hours to clean up the mess of gravy mixed with glass from all the trays under the elements on my stove.

This is not something to be taken lightly. I was using this product well within reason and this could seriously hurt someone.

During first use of their approx 9 x 13 baking dish for a chicken manicotti meal, the label on the bottom of the glassware stated it was safe for conventional use. We added the ingredients for the meal and set it in the oven at 350 degrees. Approximately 40 minutes into cooking, we heard a loud bang. We opened the oven door to find the glassware shattered to many pieces, some small and sharp, others in larger pieces. After we had cleaned up the mess in the oven, we checked the lid and it said it was not safe for conventional ovens. We did not put the lid in the oven. I am a little smarter than that to put a rubber lid in the oven, but that's besides the point. Had we had another 20 minutes and pulled it out of the oven, there could have been some serious injuries. I have just sent a letter (via email) to Anchor Hocking to request a replacement unit.
