Around 740,000 sets of kitchen pans sold at Costco, Walmart and Amazon have been recalled due to a risk of burns. The Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue stainless steel sauté pans were recalled on Thursday after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned that the metal cap on the screw connecting the pan to the handle can detach and “forcefully eject” when heated.
The CPSC stated that this defect can cause burns to consumers. Importer E Mishan & Sons, Inc., based in New York, has received nearly 100 reports of the cap detaching and ejecting. One incident resulted in a consumer suffering bruising and burn injuries.
The recalled pans were sold as a two-piece set with a 10-inch and an 11.5-inch pan. They were available at Costco stores and online via Costco, Walmart, and Amazon from August 2021 to February 2024. Consumers are advised to stop using the pans immediately and return them for a full refund.
In a separate recall, CCCEI Power Strips sold on Amazon were recalled last week due to a risk of burns. The CPSC noted that the power strips lack “supplementary overcurrent protection,” which can cause them to catch fire if overloaded. Middle Way Electronics, the China-based retailer, received at least two reports of the product sparking and melting. No fires or injuries have been reported, but consumers are urged to stop using the power strips and contact the company for a full refund.
