740,000 Costco and Online Sauté Pans Recalled After Handle Caps Can Explode Off

15h Developing 1 source 3 relevant data

Cookware maker E. Mishan & Sons has recalled about 740,000 Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue Stainless sauté pans sold nationwide at Costco, Costco.com, Walmart.com and Amazon.com after reports that the metal cap on the handle can forcefully eject when the pans are heated. A notice on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website says at least 98 incidents have been reported, including one case of bruising and burn injuries. The recall covers a two‑piece set of 10‑inch and 11.5‑inch pans with UPC 0-80313-08131-6, and consumers are being told to stop using them immediately and contact the company for a full refund. The case highlights recurring concerns about the safety of mass‑market nonstick and metal cookware sold through big‑box chains, where a single design flaw can put hundreds of thousands of U.S. households at risk before a defect is detected and reported.
