(Mar. 17) -- Nevco, of Lyndhurst, N.J. in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, today announced the voluntary recall of 217,000 electric ceramic hot pots.

If a user, while grounded, should subsequently stir the liquid in the pot using a metal article, the user could receive a potentially severe electrical shock. These hot pots come in various color combinations and are decorated with several different types of decals. The box in which the unit is packaged is clearly marked with the Nevco name. On the bottom of each unit are imprinted the words "120V-350W JAPAN." They have been sold nationwide under the Nevco name since January 1975, and have retailed from $2.99 to $4.99.… |
