The product, in the report: Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Classic Round Waffle Maker
Using Cuisinart WMR-CAP2 Classic Round Waffle Maker at home.
After making waffles, I unplugged the unit and lifted it by its factory-installed handle, using a potholder because the handle was hot from normal operation. While carrying the appliance across my kitchen, the handle suddenly detached, causing the hot waffle maker to fall onto a tile floor. The fall caused a small cosmetic dent in the appliance.
After examining the handle, I found that both molded plastic screw bosses that secure the handle had fractured around the attachment screws. The screws themselves remained intact, indicating that the handle detached because the plastic attachment points failed rather than because the screws loosened.
I had used the waffle maker approximately 15 times and had not noticed any looseness or other warning signs before this incident.
Fortunately, no one was injured. However, the failure created a significant potential hazard because the user is expected to lift and move the hot appliance by its handle. The sudden loss of the handle could have resulted in burns from contact with the hot appliance or hot cooking surfaces, impact injuries from the falling appliance, or damage to nearby people or property. I am reporting this incident because I believe failure of the load-bearing handle during normal use presents a potential product safety hazard.
