A RECALL NOTICE has been issued for approximately 21,660 Guinness-branded mugs, some of which were sold in the Guinness Storehouse, after a fault that may result in the scalding of its user was discovered.
Shamrock Gift Company, which is issuing the recall, said that an error in manufacturing may lead to a weakness at the base of the mug.
“This can cause the mug to leak or break when in contact with hot water. This may result in scalding to consumers,” the company said.
The products were sold at a large number of shops across Ireland, including but not limited to: the Guinness Storehouse, International Rugby Experience, Kerry Airport, Knock International Airport, Shannon Airport Authority Dac, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Eason’s.
A full list of retailers that sold the recalled products is available here.
The affected products are as follows: Guinness Toucan Embossed Mug; Guinness Label Embossed Mug; Guinness Toucan Embossed Mug; Guinness Storehouse Embossed Mug. The products were sold between May and November of 2024.
Customers should stop using the product immediately, the company warned.
“Please return the product to place of purchase to receive a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can contact Shamrock Gift Company at customerservice@shamrockgiftcompany.com.”

This could prove to be a hot topic.
@David Corrigan: I bought 5 of these and will sue them dearly if my relatives are scalded.
@Buster Lawless: and so you should. You could call yourself Buster Scalded.
@offside again: well we will be laughing in money if we are scalded I tell ye
Won’t be easy to alert all the overseas tourists who would have bought one of these on their way home…
@Jerry LeFrog: many could possibly die if they heart attack etc
@Buster Lawless: as long as they are outside the jurisdiction.
Making boiling hot tea could scald you ?
@offside again: if the arse falls out of the mug
@CP: yes, that’s not supposed to happen, I have to admit.
Who in the world drinks hot Guinness?
They’ll only scald the woke generation
Be sound. Just don’t use hot water in them. Probably only meant for ice t .
Most of the places are for tourists to buy their souvenirs. So I’d say these mugs are on their way to the USA and the likes and they can’t return them, and may not see this warning. *smh
Problem is tourist s bought them and went home never to return as is such a rip off now theyll make a cupa coffee or tea and burn themselves or a loved one.
Be careful,too much of that causes flatulence. Black and blew and all that
I have the exact same problem Guinness mug but it has been like this for over a year.
If they’re only used for Guinness they’ll be grand.
Be jaypers, who takes their Guinness hot, like?
How can a mug cause scalding? Unless the mug using it is a mug.
have your say
