Sunbeam Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Recalled: Burn Hazard from Lid Detachment
Sunbeam recalls Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers with model SCCPPC600-V1 due to risk of lid detachment during pressure cooking, causing burns from hot food and liquids.
The recalled Crock-Pot multi-cooker can pressurize when the lid is not fully locked. This can cause the lid to suddenly detach while the product is in use, posing burn risks to consumers from hot food and liquids ejected from the product.
Sunbeam is recalling Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers because the lid can detach while in use, leading to hot food and liquids ejecting and causing burns. Consumers should stop using the product in pressure cooker mode immediately but can continue slow cooking and sautéing with the replacement lid.
