Complaint Review: Circleware

Last month, Feb. 2016, I bought a set of six mason jars from Amazon, to use for jar candles. These are all different colored jars. They looked nice at first, and I washed them out and filled them with soy wax. They made nice candles. Then, yesterday, the candles had burned down, and it was time to clean and refill them. I soaked the jars in hot water with bleach, for about 20 min. Then, I scrubbed out the wax, and I noticed the paint colors were washing off. Now they are all without nearly half the paint on them. I contacted Amazon, and they at first asked me to send them back. They sent me a label and I boxed them up. But, then I decided to let the seller know about these so he would not sell them until he found out what was causing the paint to come off. Alot of kids love to drink from colored glasses, and I was afraid some kid could be drinking paint. So, I emailed the owner, and I was blown away by the lack of care he showed about this. He asked me why I used bleach?! I said alot of people use bleachwater to wash dishes. He said these were not safe for dishwashers. I said I don't have a dishwasher. I hand washed them. In other words, he has no plans for pulling these jars! So, I talked to Amazon again and told them that his attitude was bad, and he was not going to stop selling these, and that Amazon needed to stop offereing these jars. Someone will drink paint and get very sick or worse. So, they refunded me, and told me to just throw them out. Well, I decided to hold onto them, and contact FDA,which I just did. They might want to look at these. How these got into the country is amazing. They should never be sold in this country. We need more inspectors. I looked and there are other people already complaining about the paint coming off on these. So, don't buy them, their dangerous.
