Trivett Industries is recalling about 590 Pancake Express Pancake Makers sold at Acme, Wal-Green's, Hy-Vee and Osco Drug stores nationwide from May 2002 through July 2002 for about $20.
The handles on the pancake makers are unable to withstand the heat of the device, causing the handle to fail to provide support because of melting or breaking. Trivett Industries is aware of one incident of a consumer receiving minor burns when the handle melted and separated from the pancake maker.
These "Pancake Express" pancake makers are two-sided stove top skillets constructed of aluminum with black plastic handles. The product is labeled "Pancake Express" and "Made in China."
Consumers should return the pancake maker to Trivett to receive a full refund, including the cost of postage. For more information, call Trivett at (800) 433-4842 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
