'Exploding' Frying Pans Recalled
Wed Jan 15,11:24 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 8,700 frying pans sold through the Home Shopping Network are being recalled because they can "explode" while in use, U.S. safety regulators and Innova Inc. say.
Two consumers have been burned from hot oil and there have also been eight reports of property damage involving the frying pans, the Davenport, Iowa-based Innova reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (news - web sites).
"The pans can explode or separate when preheated, used on high heat or used for frying," the safety commission said Tuesday in a statement.
The commission said consumers do not need to return the recalled Ultrex Thermal/Double Wall pans as customers who bought the products will receive a free replacement in the mail.
USA Interactive's Home Shopping Network sold the pans from October 2001 through September 2002 individually and as part of a set.
For more information on the recall contact Innova at (800) 845-7447 or visit the Home Shopping Network's web site at www.hsn.com.
