Shatter proof glass is a fiction. But these are very durable. Owned 2 years, daily use, broken 1 out of 6. 4 1/2 stars

I am not aware of any replacement bowls. You would have to find who the manufacturer is and ask them. Sorry.

I believe you should be able to purchase a glass drill bit (Made for for drilling glass). Drill some pilot holes, and then gently screw it in with some rubber washers, to prevent the glass from cracking from pressure.

I would contact the company. They seem to very customer oriented and would probably be happy to give you the right answer. Since it is made of tempered glass, I would not feel comfortable answering definitively.

Same thing happened to me. I checked with Spigen. They offer a "discounted" replacement fee. Frankly, it wasn't worth the hassle for me. I ended up purchasing a "flexible" tempered glass protector. We'll see how that works. I thought these protectors would be more resilient but it seems they are not. Instead of being indestructible and shatterproof they are now marketing them as a way to prevent damage to the actual screen. In that regard.. yes they work.

Go to this link: http://www.luminarc.us/The-brand/Modern-dinnerware(1).aspx It will tell you about the quality of it's "tempered" glassware!

I've broken a few over the past 40 or so years and don't notice any difference in quality or tempering. I do put them in microwave full of water and heat to boiling for tea. I don't believe they are tempered like clear glass arcoroc mugs which I have seen bounce off a concrete floor without damage.

I also saw the reviews that said the glasses could break spontaneously and was concerned. I decided to take a chance as the reviews were several years old. So far I have had no problems and the glasses have been great. They stack nicely in the cupboard. I have had 1 break but it hit the side of the sink so it was not due to spontaneous shattering. Hope you have the same experience if you decide to buy them.

Dear G-Man, This question has been asked so many times, you'd think Amazon would take the hint and add the information to their description.......but i love my Amazon so i've instantly forgiven them for this slight (which is committed on every 10 items you look at). Sorry Am-Z, it's the truth. These bowls are great, use them every day, that's a fact. Mine are blue but i wasn't given a choice of color :-(. They're made of a very thick durable plastic, large enough for a hungry man's cereal bowl or hat. (i threw one at my husband the other day, missed and hit our oak table. No dents either on bowl or table but i protest that bowl didn't have regulation balance for a high speed curve ball or i would've nailed him. The bowls were made in the Good 'Ol USofA, microwavable, dishwasher safe even on the bottom drawer of your washer and i use the extra hot antibiotic mode because....ew, gross out, we let our wiener dogs lick the dinner plates. Was this TMI or just informative?

Mr Thomas, I sincerely feel that you would not have any problems at all with these bowls regardless of what you do with them as long as it comes within the scope of normal use. Buy and enjoy.

Don't know... haven't tried it... I suspect it isn't tempered glass. I want them for keeping things cold, though the literature says they are just as good for hot beverages.

Thanks, Randy. I'm glad to hear this because I just ordered a set from Amazon! Some anodized cookware has circular rings on the bottom that are very rough and would damage the glasstop burners. I'm glad to hear these are okay!

I have had mine for a couple of years and have not had any problems. I do try to be gentle and remember that they are glass. Maybe place a towel paper in between each bowl when you stack them.

Never dropped mine either. It's just like any other glass dish. But, I don't have butter fingers... pun intended. :)

To the best of my knowledge, these are not borosilicate glass. They are tempered glass, highly durable. I've used these Duralex bowls (and glass tumblers) for 30 years without a single break or chip.

I took that piece out of my bowls, I don't use them , but I assume you can contact the company and see if they can replace it for you.

The first one that got shipped to me was completely cracked. I'm pretty confident that it's tempered glass, since I was able to dispose of it very safely. The pieces mostly stayed together in big chunks despite being spider-webbed with cracks. BTW, they sent me a new one quickly & at no charge.
