    Made Jun 30, 2017, sent to the company Aug 16, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 30, 2017

    The product, in the report: Wal mart indoor griddle model # grd 20 I have pictures

    Please allow me to introduce myself: My name is [REDACTED] I Wal Mart grill Model # GRD 20. This grill is absolutely UNSAFE and should not be sold. Please let me explain and please refer to the pictures. As you can see the temperature of this grill heats to 400. I went to cook some pancakes on this grill, and when I put my hands under it to turn its position my fingers got extremely burned, and I was in excruciating pain. Thank God my neighbor is a nurse and she put on [REDACTED] and bandages to relieve the pain. This grill needs to have a handle on each side so in can be moved, thus avoiding putting the consumer from putting their hands underneath it.

    I bet you wont even bother to address this problem but in case you do I can be contacted at Phone # [REDACTED] Thank You

    The product, in the report: Farberware FW Family Size Electric Griddle Model Number G767 UPC 6922495798900

    I purchased the Farberware Family Size Griddle Model Number G767 yesterday at my local Walmart. The box has a picture of the griddle being placed in the lower rack of a dishwasher and states it is dishwasher safe. As this is electric, I had my doubts and read the brochure thoroughly. It states not to submerge the griddle in liquid and says the warming tray and drip tray are dishwasher safe. This is very deceiving to the consumer who is. Easily led to believe the griddle is somewhat like the George Foreman and dishwasher safe given the photo on the box and accompanying statement to that effect. If placed in the dishwasher or submerged in water and then plugged in, this could be dangerous
