Strange, I never heard of any problems with breakage from dropping/bumping with the borosilicate ware? And common sense dictates not to put anything shatterable against anything at an extreme & opposite temperature. Otherwise, my advice is to just not bake any sand for dinner.
Keep yourself safe and just throw out all your Pyrex & Anchor Hocking glassware! I dropped a vintage Pryex mixing bowl on the floor and swept up large and small glass shards for 2 days! It's not worth having shattering glass everywere. Use metal.
My baking dish exploded xmas eve yesterday. I had just pulled a tray of cornbread from the oven and then set it on my cool granite counter and it exploded quite violently similar to this video. I see the cause was partly my fault for doing this but I am going to stop using glass bake wear completely. Why use glass if even there is a remote possibility of an explosion happening at only 375 degrees? All metal pans lined with parchment from now on. Be warned.
I think this needs to be treated as a case of false advertising.
The name Pyrex tells me in the laboratory that I am holding a piece of borosilicate glass. If I pick up a piece of cookware that says Pyrex I shouldn't have to ask it's age or it's composition.
I need to go hand write 500 word letter on this topic and send it around. So should the rest of you. There's a TED talk about writing letters.

The Pyrex brand name used to be known for its quality. Very disappointed in this company.

Last night, local station KNXV covered this story; their news anchor had a humorous (and very appropriate) tongue slip:
"BREAKware."

so they're not shattering from the actual heat, but instead if it's placed on a wet or extremely cool surface after being exposed to heat, yes?

@RCasto They do shatter just from the heat sometimes. Never trust that they won't. Been there...
