The product, in the report: 12 inch Electric Skillet
After frying bacon my husband unpluged the skillet and removed the detachable cord, he then picked up the skillet full of hot grease to pour it out so he could wash it and the handle broke off in his hand and he dropped the skillet causing the legs to break and the skillet to bend and breaking the other handle. I purchased Four of these skillets at the after Thanksgiving (BLACK FRIDAY) sale at two different Dollar Generals Garners Ferry Road Hopkins S. C. and Eastover S.C. I gave one to each of my three daughters for Christmas and kept one for myself. My daughters have experienced the bottoms rusting out and one of them caught fire and she hadn’t even put anything in it yet all she did was plug it up and turn it on it started sparking and the cord caught fire. Her husband threw it away. I reported this incident to someone in the Corporate offices at Dollar General but haven’t heard anything in response to my complaint. The brand is Continental Electric Platinum Series 12 inch Electric Skillet with cool touch handles, made exclusivly for Dollar General Corporation. They originally sold for $30.00 but were $15.00 each during this sale. I want a refund for all four skillets.

Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Aug 31, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 23, 2011
The product, in the report: Continental Electric Mini-Skillet for small cooking jobs. Nonstick cooker gets hot enough to fry. AC 120 Volt., 60Hz, 600W Distributor: CE North America (6950 NW 77th Court, Miami, FL 33166)
My mom got two fingers of her right hand burned with the copper resistor of an electric skillet. She was going to unplug the cable with the left hand, and grabbed the skillet from the side with the right hand and got burned. She said that the resistor is located underneath the skillet, by the handle, and since it is exposed, it represents a high risk for the user to get burned.
