Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Meyer Marketing is recalling approximately 12,900 Kirkland Signature six-quart, black, hard-anodized aluminum sauté pans sold with tempered glass lids at Costco. The glass lids on these pans can crack, break, or shatter unexpectedly during use. There have been 97 reports of lids breaking or shattering, although no injuries have been reported to date. These products were sold at Costco locations in the San Francisco Bay area and the Northeast between May 2012 and October 2012 for about $35.

Risk

The tempered glass lid can suddenly shatter or crack, which can cause glass shards to fly or remain in food, posing a serious risk of cuts or lacerations to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the bottom of your sauté pan for the printed text 'Kirkland Signature,' '6 QT/5.6 L,' and 'Made in Thailand' to determine if it is part of this recall.
  2. Verify the physical dimensions: the pan should be about 3 inches deep and both the pan and the lid should measure approximately 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled sauté pans and their glass lids.
  4. Return the affected pan and lid to any Costco store location to receive a full refund.
