Costco Recalls Sauté Pans Due to Safety Hazard from Ejecting Metal Caps
A recall has been issued for a pair of popular sauté pans sold at Costco, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com due to a safety hazard. The Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue Stainless Sauté Pans, manufactured by E Mishan, have been reported to have metal caps on their handles that can heat up and forcefully eject. This defect has led to at least 98 incidents, including one report of a consumer sustaining bruising and burn injuries. The affected pans were sold in a 2-piece set, with sizes of 10 inches and 11.5 inches, and approximately 740,000 units are involved in the recall. Consumers are advised to stop using the pans immediately and contact E Mishan for a full refund, as stated in a notice on the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission website.
