Brush Art is recalling approximately 98,000 WIC nutrition plates because they are incorrectly labeled as microwave-safe. The plates contain aluminum, which can cause them to catch fire or melt if used in a microwave. These 12-inch by 9-inch divided plates were distributed for free at Indiana WIC clinics between August and November 2018. Brush Art has received two reports of the plates catching fire and one report of a plate melting during microwave use.
The plates contain hidden aluminum components that react to microwave energy, posing a fire and burn hazard. Two incidents of these plates catching fire in microwaves have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled plates, and return them to their WIC Clinic for free replacement plates. Replacement plates are being manufactured and will be sent to Indiana WIC clinics when they become available.
