Macy's is recalling nearly 1 million Martha Stewart Collection Enamel Cast Iron Casseroles.
The enamel coating on the cast iron casseroles can crack or break during use. This can cause the enamel to crack and fly off as a projectile, posing a risk of laceration or burn hazard to the user or bystanders.
Macy's has received two reports of the enamel cracking and flying off of the casseroles during use. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves Martha Stewart Collection™ Enamel Cast Iron Casseroles in 7 quart, 5.5 quart and 2.75 quart sizes, with exterior enamel finishes in red, cobalt blue, sand, green, blue, white, mustard, brown and teal, with cream colored interior finishes. The casseroles are embossed with Martha Stewart Collection™ on the bottom and lid handle.
The cookware was sold at Macy's stores and AAFES, MCX and NEX locations nationwide, and on macys.com between June 2007 and June 2011 for between about $25 and $170. It was made in China.
Consumers should immediately stop using the casseroles and return them to any Macy's store for a full refund.
For additional information, contact Macy's toll-free at (888) 257-5949 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET or visit the Macy's website at www.macys.com
Sandee Melko Paoloemilio (Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:36:07 +0000): when will people learn and stop buying Chinese made products.
Renee D'Argento (Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:45:41 +0000): I'm with you Sandee. One of the many faulty products made in China. There are some products with fewer or no alternatives. But when there are better quality choices, these inferior products are just not worth the savings. How about buying FEWER quality made items and keeping them for a while, instead of being part of the throw away society. Great stuff can be found at consignment stores as well. REDUCE AND RE-USE, THEN RECYCLE. My rule of thumb, buy American whenever possible or items from other countries that are not so cheaply mass produced... CHEAP = EXPLOITATION, both human and environmental.
