    The product, in the report: Aldi’s Kitchen Living Turbo Convection Oven Model Number:4881,11/14,KHC-625

    I was using my new Kitchen Living Turbo Convection Oven that I bought at Aldi’s to cook chicken breasts. The scant directions in the user guide recommend a 400 degree setting for 40 minutes on the top rack of the cooking bowl. I set the chicken on the top rack and started the cooking process. This was only the third time that I used this cooker since buying it in December. I lifted the lid up, by the handle, after 20 minutes of cooking to turn the chicken. To do this, I had to turn the lid upside down to rest on the counter top. You can’t just set it upright as the cooking element light won’t turn off. As I lifted the lid by the handle, the handle completely pulled out of the lid!!! I was shocked but managed to catch this heavy glass lid, which weighs almost five pounds, before it could fall and shatter onto my ceramic tile floor. I was able to complete the cooking of the chicken after carefully setting the lid back in place.

    After the lid cooled, I examined it. This is a very dangerous product that should be recalled from the US market. The handle on the lid is held in place with two cheap plastic pegs that are under 3/8 of an inch long.. I also found that the metal holding the handle in place had cracked and the handle was no longer secure. As the lid is used and heats up, the plastic becomes pliable and the pegs are not effective in holding the lid. The handle is what controls the on and off operation of the cooking device and also the mobility of it. If this lid had fallen onto the floor, the glass lid would have shattered, the light bulb within the lid would have shattered, and the electrical connection in the lid may have caused a shock or short. I really would like to see this product removed from our US stores. Thank you
