The product, in the report: Eggies, product typically sold on television
I recently purchased the “Eggies” product from Canadian Tire, located in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. This product is typically sold in television, however some stores are starting to sell it.
I tried the product for the first time this morning, and after boiling for approximately 3 minutes (the instructions state it must boil for 14 minutes) it exploded, sending boiling hot water into the air! Luckily I was not standing there, otherwise I would have gotten it in the face, and would have required a trip to the hospital!
This product is less than subpar, to the say the least. Even without the obvious health hazard. When all is said and done, it takes 31 minutes to prepare and boil the eggs, as opposed to the 9 minutes it would take you to boil one normally!
PLEASE contact Eggies and have them recall this product! The paper instructions list the following information as their address:

No one hurt Made Jul 18, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 9, 2011
The product, in the report: EGGIES as seen on TV: Hard-Boil Egg Cooker (4 plastic parts)
I bought 24 “Eggies Hard-Boil Egg Cookers” which came in 4 packs of 6 each, on ebay (“cheryls-closeouts”). These are called “As seen on TV.” Each Eggie consists of an egg-shaped translucent white plastic base and top part, with an equatorial ring to hold the two together, and a little screw-in top cap closure. Instructions were followed to wash first, then oil inside with any cooking oil. Finally, you insert yolk and white in each through the top hole, then screw in the cap. Then each filled Eggie is floated in warm water, then heat applied to bring to a boil, then wait about 20 minutes to achieve “hard boiled eggs.” About 15 minutes into the boiling, 3 of the Eggies exploded or suddenly came apart, even though the equatorial rings had be carefully tightened as well as the top caps. The package warned of steam buildup upon user opening, but NOT the possibility of getting shot in the eye by a flying part. I was just lucky that the top and caps missed my eyes. There is NO steam outlet on an Eggie except for possible thread leakage. Steam expands, or trys to expand, like in a steam engine. I would say then that I observed a 3/24 failure rate in a sample of 24, or 1/8 failure rate, i.e. one in eight. I was not hurt, but someone else, especially if leaning over the pans to watch, could be hurt, like lose an eye. The ebay Seller does not accept returns on “opened packages or used items.” I am waiting for a reply from the Seller, who obviously does not know of any dangers.
