Online shoppers who bought certain Pyrex measuring cups in recent years may be eligible for a refund.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced it is sending more than $88,000 in refunds to consumers who bought glass measuring cups marketed as “Made in USA” by Instant Brands, the makers of Pyrex-brand kitchen and home products.

The FTC launched an investigation revealing that some of the measuring cups were not made in America but were instead imported from China.
In 2023, the FTC charged Instant Brands for the misleading advertising. According to the agency, demands for the measuring cups became so great during the COVID-19 pandemic when consumer interest in home baking spiked. To keep up with the demand, “Instant Brands produced some Pyrex cups in China.”
According to the FTC, “more than 110,000 units of Chinese-made measuring cup sets were sold to U.S. consumers while being marketed as ‘Made in USA.’”
The FTC is sending checks to 10,259 consumers. If you receive a check from the FTC, the agency encourages cashing it within 90 days, as indicated on the check. Those with questions about payments should contact the refund administrator, Simpluris, at 833-244-7320, or visit the FTC website to view frequently asked questions about the refund process.
The Commission never requires people to pay money or provide account information to get a refund.
