Le Creuset Recalls Glass Lids

Le Creuset is recalling about 1,800 glass lids. They can crack or break during use, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

Le Creuset has received five reports of lids breaking in use. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Le Creuset glass lids sold after October 2010. The clear glass lids measure between about 9 inches (24 cm) and about 12 inches (30 cm) and have "Le Creuset" stamped on the metal handles. The affected models include: 24cm glass lid, 28cm glass lid, and 30cm glass lid (including 30cm glass lids sold as part of the Le Creuset Forged Hard-Anodized 30cm Shallow Casserole with Lid set.).

Le Creuset and other retailers sold the lids nationwide from October 2010 through January 2011 for $20 for individual glass lids and $160 when part of a casserole set. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using these lids immediately and return them to Le Creuset for a full refund of the purchase price.
