CPSC, Lifetime Hoan Corp. Announce Recall of Fondue Sets to Replace Burners
Lifetime Hoan Corp., of Westbury, N.Y.
Hazard
Some sets have alcohol burners that can produce high flames beyond the intended-cooking surface of the fondue pot. Another set, which uses chafing fuel, is being recalled because the chafing fuel holder could tip as it burns down. Both problems present potential fire and burn hazards to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the burners immediately and contact the company to find out how to dispose of the burners. Consumers with recalled alcohol burners will be sent a $4 coupon toward the purchase of Sterno® canned chafing fuel.
Sold at
Department, kitchen and home stores nationwide sold the fondue sets, from June 1999 through October 2000, for about $20.
Affected count
About 132,000
Injuries reported
CPSC and Lifetime Hoan Corp. have received eight reports of burners producing high flames. No injuries or property damage has been reported.
Products

Consumer contact
