Why did our Pyrex baking dish shatter?

@jsgoddess

Astroboy14, were you baking or broiling? Pyrex is pretty darn durable, but broiling can still cause problems because of the uneven distribution of heat. Ask me how I know!

We were baking… and how do you know that?

(Thanks for the replies all!)

Here are two stories from a Boston news station “consumer watch” department about exploding Pyrex. From the first link:

Their spokesman quoted the Pyrex label which in tiny print on the back says, “Add a small amount of liquid to the ovenware vessel prior to baking foods that release liquids while cooking.”

You should definitely call the manufacturer and complain.
