Tim Hortons is recalling thousands of colour‑changing ceramic mugs sold to Canadian customers over safety concerns.
Health Canada, the federal department responsible for national health policy, has cautioned that the mug could crack or break when filled with hot liquids, posing a burn risk to users.

The department added that, as of 10 March 2026, Tim Hortons recorded 28 incident reports in Canada related to the product, including one reported burn injury.
Health Canada has instructed customers not to use the mug subject to the recall and return it to a Tim Hortons restaurant location by 22 April 2026 for a complete refund.
The recall applies to a 16oz white ceramic mug featuring a doughnut image on both sides. The interior and handle of the mug are pink.
It features a chocolate-dip doughnut decal on the outside that changes colour when warm liquid is added, revealing one of four designs: Vanilla Dip, Honey Cruller, Maple Butter Glaze, and Honey Dip.
Tim Hortons offered the mug for sale in its restaurants and through its online store.
The company reported that 25,040 units were sold in Canada between January and February 2026.
Health Canada’s information indicates that the mugs were produced in China by Anbo Home Goods (Shenzen) Co. and brought into Canada by Umbra.
Tim Hortons is a Canada-based coffee and quick-service restaurant brand, with headquarters in Toronto. The company opened its first restaurant in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1964.
Last September, Tim Hortons introduced a new range of protein drinks across its Canadian locations.
The beverages were claimed to have been produced using lactose-free, high-protein dairy.
