Michaels is recalling about 263,000 Creatology® pottery wheel kits because the battery compartment can overheat. This defect has resulted in two reports of incidents, including one fire in the battery compartment. The 16-piece kit includes a blue battery-operated pottery wheel, clay, tools, and paints, and was sold at Michaels stores and online between August 2011 and February 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the kit and return it to any Michaels store for a full refund.
The battery compartment can overheat during use or while the device is turned on, posing fire and burn hazards to children and users. There have been two reports of overheating and fire, although no injuries have been reported yet.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled pottery wheel kits away from children, stop using them and return them to any Michaels store for a full refund.
