  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jul 6, 2018, sent to the company Jul 16, 2018, published by CPSC Jul 30, 2018

    The product, in the report: Walmart Farberware XL Electric Skillet Model #G779 UPC 6922495797798 Black and silver all in one 15” skillet that can be put in the dishwasher. It has a rectangle clear lid which is the unsafe part of the product.

    I purchased the Farberware XL Electric Skillet Model #G779 UPC 6922495797798 from Walmart in Lindon, Utah within the last 30 days. When I finally opened and used it I was cooking steaks and when I lifted the lid to turn the meat hot steam water ran down my left arm and side because there is no seal around the rim. I thought at first it was spilling over the lip but every time I lifted it the water ran down. So I tested it with tap water over the sink and water was coming out the edge and not over the lip. Luckily I did it before the water got so hot that it would have burned me badly.

    I tested all the many lids I had like that and non of them leaked. I bought a second skillet exactly like it at the American Fork Utah Walmart and it does the same thing. I called the number 1-855-451-2897 on the box for FarberWare and it went to Walmart customer service. The lady who took my call said she would send the information to their safety department and I could return the skillets to the store. I was going to ask for proof of my call and all of a sudden I was sent to take a survey. She didn’t take my information or anything.

    I am trying to prevent serious injury here. What if my grandchild was standing by me and hot water had burned them? I don’t think many incidences of this should have to happen before anything is done. One incident is too many.
