  2. No one hurt

    Made Dec 12, 2012, sent to the company Dec 28, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 22, 2013

    The product, in the report: From the Paula Deen 23-piece cookware set, the 3-quart saucepan lid

    On November 22, 2012, my husband purchased the 23-piece Paula Deen cookware ensemble for me from Wal-Mart in Central, South Carolina, while we were visiting family. When we returned home on November 24, I opened, inspected, and washed the entire set.

    I have used various pieces of the cookware set over the last three weeks, with no issues until this evening. Around 6 pm, I cooked dinner in the 3 quart saucepan, using the lid to cover the dish in the pan. Once we had finished eating dinner, I promptly hand washed the lid and pan, and placed them securely on the drying rack in my kitchen. About an hour and a half later (around 7:30 pm), while in another room, we heard a pop and what sounded like pieces of something scattering across the floor of the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, we found the pan lid, in the same position on the drying rack I had earlier placed it in, shattered, and glass from the lid across our kitchen counters and floor.

    I am concerned that the lids, being apparently unable to withstand the rigors of being utilized in their intended manner, then hand washed and allowed to air dry, could be a safety hazard, as they shatter without warning, being dropped, or otherwise abused.
