Hurt, care not known Made Jan 4, 2013, sent to the company Mar 7, 2013, published by CPSC Mar 21, 2013
The product, in the report: Popcorn Popper
Hot Air Popcorn Popper with serial# unknown purchased. Model number is 04840 and UPC is 7574104840.
January 2nd, 2013 caller followed all directions to pop her popcorn, replaced top lid and butter holder, made sure that her four year old daughter was 5 feet away from it then went to stand with her.
As the popcorn was popping, some came out into the large bowl which was placed beneath the popper’s exit portal, but most of it, with the inclusion of unpopped but very hot kernels popped all around the room as projectiles.
One unpopped, extremely hot kernel went down her daughters shirt and burned her skin then fell down to her waist and burned her again at a lesser degree.
Mother treated burns with cream but said the first burn is fairly deep so she may still take the girl to be checked by a physician. she later spoke with the physician via phone and determined that a visit was not needed, but treated burn at home and unfortunately, it will most likely leave a scar.
Caller contacted the manufacturer January 4th, 2013, their representative in customer service stated that they were very sorry that this incident happened then offered to transfer caller to their legal department.. Caller declined this transfer because she states she is not looking for restitution but simply would like for the consumers to be aware of the safety hazards attached to this popcorn popper.
Caller returned this popcorn popper to the retailer and received reimbursement January 2nd, 2013.
She is asking that the public be made aware and the these popcorn poppers be inspected and considered
