Imagine one morning sitting down to a nice cup of coffee in your cutesy mug only to realize its only lukewarm.

That’s the case for 12,300 Valentine’s Day-themed mugs sold by Target now being recalled for posing a fire risk.

Customers should stop using the cups immediately and return them for a refund. [CPSC] [More]
