Recall Details

Company:
Lifetime Hoan Corp., of Westbury, N.Y.
Reason for Recall:
Some sets have alcohol burners that can produce high flames beyond the intended-cooking surface of the fondue pot. Another set, which uses chafing fuel, is being recalled because the chafing fuel holder could tip as it burns down. Both problems present potential fire and burn hazards to consumers.
