How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 29, 2018, sent to the company May 2, 2018, published by CPSC May 16, 2018

    The product, in the report: 4.5 Quart Oval Slow Cooker

    The incident is averted but the product is damaged. The left handle is cracked straight through and makes carrying by handle dangerous. The housing slides around on the metal base and cannot sustain the weight of the porcelain bowl for long.

    I am also stating that the product was gently used for nearly fifteen years and though I believe that the handles were badly engineered, the product was otherwise good and stable for fifteen years.

    I have since replaced a damaged foot with a wine cork and the on/off knob disappeared years ago. We replaced the lid screw after the first one rusted and know not to carry it by the handles.
