Avon is recalling about 54,700 Microwave Popcorn Makers because they can overheat and ignite if the popcorn is cooked for too long. The recalled units consist of a 6-inch high clear plastic tub with three feet and a yellow vented lid. They were sold through independent Avon representatives and online at avon.com from October 2012 through February 2013. Avon has received 20 reports of these units overheating, including two fires that damaged microwave ovens. Consumers should stop using the product and contact Avon for updated safety instructions.
When popcorn is cooked beyond the recommended time, the plastic container can overheat and catch fire, creating a risk of burns to the user and fire damage to the microwave and surrounding area.
Consumers should stop using the popcorn maker immediately and contact Avon to receive a copy of the updated instructions on how to safely use the microwave popcorn maker. The new instructions can also be obtained from independent Avon representatives and on Avon's website under the Product Recall section.
