My director emailed me today about the wine glasses. She said that in the product use and care tips it says hand wash only, and that is very important because the dots will wash off. She said someone put theirs is standing water during a show and when she returned all but the purple dots had come off. My director put hers into the dishwasher and the dots came off of hers too. So be sure to stress to anyone who buys them that they must be hand washed and not allowed to soak. I can't figure out how to attach her email so I will ccp it to the thread:

Subject: Fwd: [pcexecs] Wine Glass Warning



from



Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you and your teams a heads up. When the use and care
card says hand wash only. THEY MEAN IT!

I had a party the other night, and one of my friends put one of the glasses
accidentally in the dishwasher. Another friend put one in the sink and it
was in standing water.

Well you can imagine what happened, I pulled out two glasses without any
more polkadots! Well actually the purple ones are still there. I guess they
used better ink on those. lol.



Anyway, if you see someone order them, please remind your customer to hand
wash ONLY!





chasing polka dots down the drain,

Well I took out the names on this so it can stay posted. I wasn't bashing the products or anything, I didn't order the glasses on my supply order so I do not have first hand experience with these. I just wanted to pass along the letter from my director. :)

Thanks for the info.

I'm a little annoyed at the products we have that are hand-wash only. I don't have time to hasnd-wash everything. And other companies make products like this that can be washed in the dishwasher.

mini-vent over :-)
 
Yes, there was another thread on this already a day or so ago.
 
Wow, this sounds pretty untypical for products sold by The Pampered Chef. Usually the quality is one of the more outstanding features.
 
These are great quality - defintiely up to Pampered Chef standards! I have had a lot of wine glasses and we always shudder and worry when they have such long stems. These are well balanced. Thin glass but not fragile. I have washed one of the glasses many times (we often have a glass of wine with or after dinner and I've used it for lemonade and other things too...) and all my dots are intact.

Tell your guests to treat them like fine glassware and they won't have a problem. Hand wash. These glasses are painted (as are the Holiday plates) so they need that little bit of extra care.
 
Where is that thread anyway? Multiple searches have turned up nothing.

I read the other thread and I can't find it either. Could it have been deleted?
 
How interesting...I posted in it and can't find it...
 
Yup, googled and it is GONE!

Hmmm, I wonder why? That's strange.
 
Maybe someone mentioned in the thread didn't want to be mentioned and asked to have the thread removed. Hmmm... Does anyone remember who started the thread?
 
don't remember who started it but it was something like "new stemware dot... disappearing"
 
I think it was cindycooks, the one with the baby asleep in the bowl as her avatar. Title had the word melted in it too. The dots melted.
 
The thread is gone and I don't know why!!! Very strange!
 
I am starting to think it's a mass hallucination.
 
no we all talked in it or about it and its now on longer there. I too got the email from my director.
 
Well I didn't get the email but I definitely remember reading about the dots melting and Bethcooks4U said she used them a few times and had no problems with washing them and a few other people commenting.

riiiiight... melted. I knew disappearing didn't look right!

I know we are not ALL crazy. Let me rephrase... we may very well all be crazy, but we aren't imainging that thread. :)
 
it was there! I read everyone's posts.....now along w/all the other dots it has mysteriously dissappeared!:eek:
 
I think we all were hallucinating.:p
 
Wow...so I wonder what happened?! Will this thread disappear or melt too?!

THAT'S what happened!! :rolleyes: It MELTED! :cool:
 
I think so Beth :)


Don't understand why it would have been deleted, kind of strange. Maybe we have a CS ghost!
 
just a thought.......remember when someone copied an email that was sent to them, maybe the person that originally sent the email wanted his name removed from the post. I don't know though......just guessing. But, I definitely remember reading the thread yesterday!!
 
but all you would have to do is edit the post...not delete the entire thread. This sounds strange to me. I don't remember reading anything that sounded like PC bashing or anything even close...just concern over the problem.

Do the plates say they are hand painted? I didn't read the use and care, but I looked at them and it looks like some sort of...well, I'm not sure. Its not a sticker, but kind of like a sticker. The colors on the back don't show through like it would if it was painted. Its like there is a film over it. Maybe I'm just not up to date on hand painting. Maybe its some sort of sealer.

...or drinking too much wine from the wine glasses! ;)

I remember the thread too. Isn't only the person who created the thread or Greg able to delete a thread? (Just learned a little while ago that we could even delete our own threads!!)

Ah! That probably IS it!

You are right. Only the thread starter and the administrator can delete a thread. I didn't remember anything wrong in it either.
 
The only think I can figure about it was someone quoted an email from David M and maybe he requested that it get deleted?
 
This thread started with an email but I see she now edited it to take names off of it. ...so that's probably it.
 
Exactly beth! She edited it and took the names off.
