Sherwood Marketing is recalling approximately 175,000 3 Squares Tim3 Machin3 and Mini Tim3 Machin3 rice and slow cookers. These stainless steel and black plastic programmable cookers were sold between December 2015 and July 2016. The recall was issued because internal wiring was improperly installed, leading to potential electrical shorts that can cause the unit to spark or turn on by itself. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and discard them, as no repair or refund remedy is currently available.
The unit's internal wiring can short circuit, posing significant risks of fire and electric shock. There have been three reports of incidents, including a cooker sparking and another turning itself on, with one reported shock injury.
The remedy is not available. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rice/slow cookers. Destroy and discard this product.
