Macy's recalls 960,000 Martha Stewart pots for cut and burn dangers

Consumer Reports News: August 18, 2011 01:53 PM

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Macy's Merchandising Group in New York City announced a recall of Martha Stewart Collection Enamel Cast Iron Casseroles cookware. The enamel coating can crack or break during use and possibly cut or burn nearby users.

Macy's has received two reports of the enamel cracking and flying off of the casseroles during use. No injuries, however, have been reported.

The recall involves casserole pans of three sizes: 7 quart, 5.5 quart and 2.75 quart. The casseroles are embossed with Martha Stewart Collection on the bottom and lid handle. The exterior enamel finish colors were various—including red, cobalt blue, sand, green, blue, white, mustard, brown and teal—but all the flawed pots feature a cream-colored interior finish.

Macy's is recalling 960,000 of the Martha Stewart pots, which were sold at Macy's stores, AAFES, MCX and NEX locations nationwide, and on macys.com between June 2007 and June 2011.

Consumers should immediately stop using the flawed Martha Stewart casseroles and return them to any Macy's store for a full refund.

For additional information, cookware owners should call Macy's toll-free phone (888-257-5949) or visit the Macy's website at www.macys.com.
