| Description | May 4, 1994 Release # 94-070 PRODUCT: Approximately 14,400 electric potpourri pots sold at Walgreen stores prior to June 1, 1992. The white ceramic pots have a blue colored design on the side of the pots. This design can be a wreath, a flower basket, sea shells, or fruit. The pots have a blue ceramic lid and a white electric power cord. The pot holds approximately one and a half cups of water. The recalled pot has a black plastic bottom and is labeled on the bottom "model WA-00117" and does not have a UL listing mark, although there may be a UL mark on the pot's power cord. PROBLEM: The electric potpourri pot presents an electric shock hazard if a metal heating element retaining bar inside the sealed base of the pot comes in contact with the unit's power cord terminals. This could permit metal nuts on the outside bottom of the pot to become electrically charged. No incidents of electric shock have been reported to either the Walgreen Company or CPSC. Other retailers may have imported the same potpourri pots. Consumers who suspect that they may have purchased the same model electric potpourri pots from different retailers are requested to call the CPSC hotline at (800) 638-2772 to… |
