Crock-Pot 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cookers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
