This whole exploding Pyrex urban myth/rumor bears some factchecking; it has been debunked. These are the

- A Chinese company does NOT own the Pyrex trademark.
- Pyrex products are manufactured in the U.S. - in Charleroi, Pennsylvania
- The "recipe" change is not recent, and was required by U.S. environmental law.
