How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

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 4, 2016, sent to the company Mar 25, 2016, published by CPSC Apr 15, 2016

    The product, in the report: Regular size quilted oven mitt in various colors. Tag inside says “Selektive”, Barrington Trading Inc. and states the filling is 100% polyester

    The oven mitts that I purchased for my daughter melted onto a hot cookie sheet the first time she used them. She was not injured but these are obviously a safety hazard if they do not provide the protection as intended.
