This sounds like an urban legend to me. Searching for it doesn't lead me to any credible sources? Especially if you can still get it on Amazon of all places.

- DanBC 8y agoIn the US pyrex is tempered soda-lime glass. In Europe PYREX is borosilicate glass. Tempered soda-lime is better if you drop the object. Borosilicate handles thermal stress better. I don't think this has anything to do with "The Feds". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex
