The product, in the report: Tru Roaster Model RO 1800T black in color
TRU 18 quart Capacity Roaster Oven, sold by KOHLS. Used only 2 times. At Thanksgiving last year the rubber legs came off when cooking and scorched a cork pad that I had under it on my counter. The legs only have little nipples on it and then go into a holes on the bottom of the roaster. They do not screw in or anything. Pushed back into the holes on the bottom of the unit securely on the left side. They were on it when I started using it. On May 10th, 2014 I made a potatoes dish. Between the pans (because it had sour cream and milk product, and cheese) I placed 1 cup of water. I have been raised with roasters and my recipe states to add up to 2 cups water when cooking in a roaster with any of the above products to keep it from burning. When my son in law went to move it, he lifted it up , and his wife told him wait a minute. So he went to sit it back down on solid surface. The 2 legs came off on the right side, and he did not see that. When he set it down on the counter the weight of the 15lbs in the roaster shifted because the it did not sit level now, and he was severely burned by the steam from the roaster when he went to sit it down on the solid surface. He suffered 2nd. degree burns. Luckily he was a ems for 6 years, severed as a medic oversees 3 x, and is a police officer now. However, he did have to seek medical care, was treated for 2nd degree burns, and had to see a burn specialist. He missed weeks of work. I decided to do an experiment with just water in the roaster at 325 degrees. When the roaster is sitting on a flat surface and the unity has been on say for any length of time the it gets warm, it you slightly pick it up, the legs come off as the metal on the bottom of the unit is hot and must expand so the little legs come off. This is very dangerous.
