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.
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.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Alpha and Sigma pots with a black Nylon latch and contact Sea to Summit for a free latch repair kit.
