That is tempered glass all right!  And your wife is lucky it was!  If non 
tempered glass had done a similar thing, it would have broken into large, 
sharper than razor sharp, shards that would have cut her much worse than the 
little ones from tempered glass.

That is one of the reasons tempered glass is used.
