The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Bella Kitchen 5-quart slow cookers sold exclusively at Kohl’s Department Stores.
CPSC says the slow cooker’s control panel can overheat and melt, posing a fire hazard.
Sensio has received 60 reports of the control panels of the slow cookers smoking, melting and sparking and three reports of panels catching fire. Fourteen incidents resulted in minor damage to countertops.
This recall involves the Bella Kitchen 5-quart programmable slow cookers. Only slow cookers with model number WJ-5000DE and date codes 0907 or 0909 are included in this recall. The slow cookers are black and "Bella Kitchen" is marked on the control panel. The model number and the four-digit date code are printed on a label on the underside.
They were sold at Kohl’s stores from July 2009 through December 20089 for between $20 and $40.
Consumers should stop using the slow cooker immediately, unplug it and contact Sensio for information on receiving a full refund. Sensio toll free number (888) 296-9675 or visit the company’s website at: www.acbpromotions.com/sensiorecall
