It's been awhile since anyone posted on this subject, but last night I
was canning some tomatoes, and when it was time to take the jars out of
the water bath, I noticed a piece of tomato floating on the top of the
water. I thought nothing of it, just that I had somehow dropped a piece
in there, but as I was removing the first jar, the top 2/3 of one of the
jars broke away from the bottom. What a mess it made in the water!
Today I noticed that the jar was an Atlas Mason jar, and since all our
other jars are Ball jars, I googled Altas Mason Jars and found this
site.

Though I haven't had a chance to look around, I thought I'd update the
thread, and provide a "living example" of why maybe it's not such a good
idea to use these jars. I'm guessing it somehow made it's way from a
jar of spaghetti to our jar storage, bypassing what should have been the
recycling bin!!
