Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Jun 1, 2015, sent to the company Jun 30, 2015, published by CPSC Jul 15, 2015
The product, in the report: The consumer states the oven mitt is a cotton material and has a rainbow trout fish design.
On 05/31/15 the consumer used the oven mitt to take out a baking sheet (11” x 15”) from the oven. The baking sheet was in the oven for about 15 minutes and the oven was set to 375 degrees. The consumer states seconds after grabbing the baking sheet he felt his finger tips burning. The consumer dropped the baking sheet and removed the oven mitt. There are no burn damages on the oven mitt. The consumer has burn marks on his left middle and ring finger. The consumer states his ring finger has more severe burn damages. The consumer’s sister is a nurse and treated the consumer’s fingers. The consumer did not go to the hospital or visit a physician.
This was the first time the consumer used the oven mitt.
On 06/01/15 the consumer emailed the firm, by filling out a form on the firm’s website (www.bwtc.com) and informed them of the incident. The consumer received a response from [REDACTED], a firm’s rep who offered the consumer another oven mitt. The consumer said [REDACTED] wrote in the email that depending on the weight and temperature of the pan it may require the use of 2 oven mitts to protect from any burns.
The consumer is not accepting another oven mitt from the firm. The consumer believes the oven mitt poses a burn hazard to consumers and should not be sold.

First aid Made Aug 20, 2014, sent to the company Aug 28, 2014, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2014
The product, in the report: The product is from Boston Warehouse Trading Corp. 59 Davis Ave. Norwood, MA 02062. It is a tabby cat oven mitt/fingertip mitt and is oval shaped with two sides, one to fit the thumb and one to fit the fingers when taking items out of the oven. It is sewn together with thread (which is what I suspect caused a spark}.
While taking a baked Item out of a toaster oven, the mitt sparked and caused my daughter to pull her arm out of the toaster oven and burn her arm on the top of the oven. The mitt also melted and caused a burn on her arm and got all over the counter and smelled up the whole house. It never caught fire, mind you, It just sparked and she got scared. The rubber material melted onto a small part of her hand and burned her and she received a burn from removing her hand quickly as to avoid potential fire. The oven was set at 250 F and the mitt Is supposed to be heat resistant up to 47SF.
