I had baked a batch of 'from scratch' rolls for a Sunday morning Bible study in our home. I used a Pyrex rectangular, clear glass baking dish. I had just taken them out of the oven, set them on the stove--which had not yet been used that morning--and the dish exploded into thousands of pieces. I'm not sure of the year this happened (my best estimate would be 2004) but the dish itself had been a wedding gift which means it was purchased in 1978.

A few years back I purchased a Pyrex baking dish. I was taking the clear,large (not certain of the inches, I think 11x14)Pyrex dish from the oven and it exploded as I placed it on a room temperature surface. It was full of delicisous dressing for Thanksgiving and it ruined our holliday meal because, of course, it had glass chunks and shards all over and in it. Glass shattered all over the area, on the floor and across the room. I'm surprised my eyes or skin wasn't injured. I had long sleves and pants on and thank goodness we all had our shoes on or someone would have had cuts as they walked from the "accident" area. I will never buy another recently made Pyrex product.

I was broiling deer meat in the oven in a Pyrex baking dish that was in the cuboard. The oven timer went off so I proceeded to flip the steak over when before my fork even penetrated the meat, the dish exploded, narrowly missing me and flying all over the kitchen leaving burn marks on the rug near by.

The pyrex dish exploded in the oven while i was baking chicken at 350 degrees. took a few hours to clean up the oven... just cut myself while picking up the shattered glass

I picked up a 9x13 baking dish and the end of it broke off in my hand. The dish wasn't hot or been in the refrigerator. It had been setting on my counter over night. I had to have stitches in one finger and sterri strips on two of the other fingers.

I had made a lasagne and apple crisp - both in the pyrex dishes and had them in the oven to bake. I had preheated the oven as requested and placed my dishes in the oven to bake. 40 mins later, my lasagne dish shattered, sending glass pieces all over my oven and the dessert! My family's dinner was ruined and my oven rendered out of commission until the dishes, glass and oven had cooled off. As a result, we had to make something that could be made on the stovetop for dinner. Very disappointing!

Pyrex 2 qt bowl shattered into the tiniest of pieces. Yes, my fault. The pieces were minute. Clearly a problem

I was baking with the Pyrex 13X9 baking dish a couple weeks ago and without warning it exploded while IN the oven baking! Why is there not a warning on them to say they can explode? I had my oven at 350 and had not even opened it or moved it, no one was in the kitchen when it exploded IN my oven! Please, any information would be appreciated. we had to make something else for the family to eat therefore cutting into our already small food budget!
