Why it was recalled

The mesh filter in the cover of the deep fryer can allow moisture to build in the oil reservoir, causing the oil reservoir to boil over during or shortly after use. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Official remedy

Consumers should stop using the deep fryers immediately and contact The Metal Ware Corp. to request a free replacement cover kit and complimentary gift package.
