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

The reports, as CPSC published them

  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 4, 2016, sent to the company Oct 13, 2016, published by CPSC Nov 3, 2016

    The product, in the report: Black frying pan with metallic cable

    My name is [REDACTED], I am Brazilian and I travel to United States every year in my vacations. In December 2013 I went to New York to spend the Christmas with my family. I bought and Emeril’s frying pan at Macy’s and started to use it normally (I liked it so much that in the other years that I went to Miami and Orlando I bought two more). In September 23rd, my 20 years old daughter was cooking with the frying pan and it exploded, making a noise so loud that looked like a gun shooting. I was in the living room and I got so scared that I started to scream my daughter’s name but she couldn’t answer because she got deaf for a few seconds. My daughter got shocked and paralyzed because the noise was really loud. When I got in the kitchen we started to look where it came from and we realized it was from the frying pan because we found the “screw” that holds the cable to the frying pan at the floor. Then we found out that the pressure at the “screw” made it exploded. I don’t know what to do now because the accident could have been way bigger if the “screw” had hit my daughter’s eyes. I don’t have the invoice any more so I could exchange it at Macy’s and at the frying pan there isn’t the manufacturer’s name, it only says that it is from Emeril’s brand. I am writing to warn about the danger of this product and also to ask help so I can get in touch with the manufacturer because, as I said, I have two more products like this in my house and I would like to know if is safe using them. I look forward to contact you so you can tell me what to do. Thank you.

    The product, in the report: Emeril Lagasse 10 inch (Teflon coated?) frying pan

    Last year I purchased 2 Emeril Lagasse 10 inch frying pans. A little over a week ago, while using the frying pan, the metal disc over the rivet popped and flew off the pan. Fortunately I was not injured. This appears to be the same problem as the [REDACTED] frying pans, which you reported, and [REDACTED] is now recalling.
