    The product, in the report: Krups F654 waffler maker reference number f6547551/3ca-1113

    Our Krups F654 waffle maker boght at Costco has a problem with the hand Ie getting extremely hot and actually burnt my thumb. We contacted krups and sent the defective waffle maker back to them for repair or replacement.

    After about three weeks we received another waffler maker that we are assuming is neew because Krups did not send back any correspondence with the product. We used this new/different product on Saturday and the handle on this u nit get extremely hot the same as the previous waffler maker we had.

    This product is unsafe and can not be used as designed without getting hurt. I have grandchildren and this product could be a serious hazard to children.
