Dart Container President Jim Lammers said in a statement then that a customer received a shipment of cups contaminated with glass. Lammers called the incident a “deliberate attack” on Dart and not the result of a failure in safety protocols. Dart Container subsequently terminated Horton’s employment and removed all contaminated cups from circulation.
