‘Has anyone had this scale randomly explode? I was in my lounge room and heard a weird pop like sound and I went to investigate and found it like this,’ she said in a Kmart fan Facebook group.

After placing all the broken pieces on a towel, the shopper shared a picture of the shattered scale, in which she purchased just three months earlier.

‘Just stood on a piece in my hallway and cut my foot, nothing bad but my lord the distance! They definitely do not break in a “safe way”,’ she added.

The woman said she contacted the store and was given a store credit. 

‘I called my local Kmart and the best they can do is store credit of the amount it’s for sale,’ she said. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Kmart for comment. 

The Australian shopper said she purchased the Kmart glass scale three months ago for $20

After speaking out on social media, others quickly shared their experiences with the same Kmart scale, with many insisting heat may have caused the shatter.

‘That happened to my mum and dad also! They just heard a big crashing noises and it had just shattered. Nothing near it that could have done it so they put it down to heat,’ one said.

Another said: ‘That happened to my parents as well. Crazy how heat can just make something shatter after a period of time.’

One said: ‘Yep same happened to me! I took it back in pieces and showed photos and they gave me a credit note.’

Another said: ‘My parents used to have the same one and my dad popped in down one day. He said he lightly knocked the corner on the cabinet as he was putting it down and it shattered and shot everywhere and glass ended up in his leg.’ 

And another said: ‘Ours did the same. I thought the damn thing was just being passive aggressive.’
