If you bought or received a Starbucks mug recently, read this before using it.

The company is recalling nearly half a million mugs after discovering the containers can overheat, causing them to break.

The mugs were sold online and in stores from November through January and were manufactured by Nestle USA. The mugs were available over the holidays as part of gift sets sold at Target and Walmart.

People who purchased the mugs, which include Starbucks Holiday Gift Set with two mugs, Starbucks Classic Hot Cocoa and mug, Starbucks Peppermint and Classic Hot Cocoas and mug and Starbucks Holiday Blend Coffee and mug, can return them where they purchased them for a refund or a gift card.
