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.

    Made Apr 9, 2013, sent to the company May 2, 2013, published by CPSC May 23, 2013

    The product, in the report: Stainless Steel 12” Skillet

    The consumer says she was making pancakes when she had the skillet on top of her ceramic stove top on medium heat.

    She says between the bottom of the skillet and the top of the plate, there was smoke emitting from this area. The consumer says that having a ceramic stove top may have avoided a house fire.

    The consumer says that the bottom of the plate bubbles up and could cause a house fire.

    The product, in the report: Kenmore 14in Crispekenmore Pizza Pan - Metal Cookware

    We were cooking with the Kenmore 14in Crispekenmore Pizza Pan (Item# 011W030701220001 Mfr. Model# 0307012) today and, while in the oven, one of the rubber handles melted and fell through the pan and onto the coils below. The rubber handle then caught on fire. We were able to put the fire out but I thought I should report this as an unsafe product.
