Hazard
The non-stick part of the pan can separate forcefully and be propelled when the pan is preheated, used on high heat, or used for frying, deep-frying or braising. This can pose a serious burn hazard from hot oil or food contents spilling onto consumers.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these fry pans immediately. HSN and Innova have contacted consumers instructing them to return the pans to Innova, in exchange for replacement cookware, an HSN credit, or a refund.
Incidents and injuries
Innova and HSN LP have received 31 reports of these fry pans separating, including seven consumers who received burns from hot oil and eight reports of property damage.
