NEARLY 1 MILLION SUNBEAM CROCK-POTS RECALLED FOR BURN HAZARD

Sunbeam Products is voluntarily recalling more than 900,000 of its Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers for a potential burn hazard.

The problem is it can pressurize when the lid is not fully locked. That can cause the lid to suddenly detach while in use, posing burn risks to consumers from hot food and liquids ejected from the product.

Sunbeam has so far received 119 reports of the lids detaching, resulting in 99 burn injuries ranging in severity from first-degree to third-degree burns.

The recall includes roughly 914,410 units in the United States and 28,330 in Canada. The multi-cookers were sold in-store and online at retailers including Walmart, Target, Amazon and other outlets nationwide between July 2017 and this month (November 2020).

The affected products, which cost between $70 and $100, have date codes K196JN through K365JN and L001JN through L273JN engraved on either the bottom of the base or on one prong of the electrical plugs.

Owners of the product should immediately stop using it in pressure cooker mode, but they can continue to use it for slow cooking and sautéing. Crock-Pot will send free replacement lids to consumers who contact them by going to the following website:
