Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cookware Company is recalling about 11,160 Greenpan SimmerLite Dutch Ovens with lids because the lids can explode during use inside an oven. The company has received four reports of incidents, including three reports of exploding lids and one report of property damage. The affected products were sold in six sizes (3.5Q to 7.0Q) and two colors, Black Metallic and Smokey Sky Blue, between September 2018 and May 2020. Consumers can contact the company for a full refund or a free replacement glass lid.

Risk

The dutch oven lid can explode while heating inside an oven, which can lead to severe burn injuries from hot food or steam, as well as lacerations from flying debris. There have been three reports of the lids exploding in consumers' ovens.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your dutch oven lid and base for identification: the top of the lid should say 'THE DUTCH OVEN' and 'GREENPAN', and the bottom of the oven base should state 'Original GreenPan with Magneto2 Induction Technology'.
  2. Locate the four-digit date code laser-etched onto the back of the side handles and the UPC code on the bottom of the original box to confirm if your 3.5Q, 4.5Q, 5.5Q, 6.5Q, or 7Q model is part of the recall.
  3. Stop using the recalled dutch oven and lid immediately.
  4. Contact Cookware Company at 877-926-6526 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email simmerlite@cookware-co.com to receive a full refund or a free replacement glass lid.
