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 28, 2019, sent to the company Feb 22, 2019, published by CPSC Mar 11, 2019

    The product, in the report: This is a standard size turquoise oven mitt with the saying “home is where the heart is” in white script followed by a heart,

    I purchased an oven mitt from Dollar Tree in November or December 2018. The first time I used it to remove a pan from the oven on December 17th, I felt heat and found a large hole had burned thru the mitt. I was fortunate to not have been injured as I was only holding the pan for a very short period and immediately put it down when I felt the heat. I sent a message via their website and a tweet to Dollar Tree as it is their licensed product and received no response. I included a photo of the product showing the issue as well. This product is dangerous and should be removed from their stores and from any home that purchased it. I have kept the product as well.
