Sea to Summit Recalls Camping Pots Due to Burn and Scald Hazards

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sea to Summit is recalling approximately 16,200 Alpha and Sigma camping pots because the black nylon latch can disengage, causing the handle to detach and posing serious burn and scald hazards. There have been 10 reports of the latch failing or being damaged by heat, though no injuries have currently been reported. The recalled pots were sold individually and in sets at REI and other sporting goods stores from January 2019 through November 2020. Consumers should stop using these pots immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free latch repair kit.

Risk

The pot's black nylon latch can fail or melt when exposed to excessive heat, which allows the handle to become loose or detach entirely while the pot contains hot food or liquids. This creates a significant risk of the user being burned or scalded by the pot's contents.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your pot is affected by checking the latch: only Alpha (matte gray aluminum) and Sigma (polished stainless steel) pots with a black nylon latch that does NOT have a screw are included in this recall.
  2. Verify the brand and model by looking for 'Sea to Summit' and the size (1.2L, 1.9L, 2.7L, or 3.7L) printed on the front of the pot.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled camping pots and sets, even if the latch appears to be functioning normally.
  4. Contact Sea to Summit for a free latch repair kit by calling toll-free at 888-201-4977 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT, Monday through Friday), emailing productsafety@seatosummit.com, or visiting www.seatosummit.com/productsafety.
  5. For additional questions or to report a safety incident, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 or visit www.cpsc.gov.
