  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jun 29, 2019, sent to the company Jul 24, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 14, 2019

    The product, in the report: Potholders either fully made of polyester or [REDACTED]

    I am writing to report a product that is unsafe. I have recently purchased potholders that were either fully made of polyester (from Dollar Tree), or were cotton on the outside with polyester filling (from [REDACTED] ). The ones that are all polyester melt, burn through and subsequently burn the user. This can happen on the very first use when removing something from the oven. The fact that the fabric melts and can stick to the user’s skin while hot makes them doubly dangerous. The cotton covered ones burn through the thin cotton fairly quickly and then, again, melt through the polyester and burn the user. Since the purpose of a potholder is to keep the user from being burned, I believe no potholders containing polyester should be sold. As well as being unsafe, it is a real waste of resources and energy to make and sell a product that is certain to fail very quickly. I know these are inexpensive items, but there is no reason they should be ineffective and dangerous. Thanks! Recipient: Information Center
