Summary

TCC Cooking Company is recalling approximately 4,000 CHEFS-branded flameproof ceramic vertical roasters because they can break or shatter during use. There have been 25 reports of these roasters breaking or shattering, which can lead to serious burns or cuts from sharp ceramic fragments. The black roasters were sold online through Chefscatalog.com, Cooking.com, Target.com, and other retailers between April 2014 and May 2015. Depending on where you purchased the item, you may be eligible for a full refund or a gift card for the purchase price.

Risk

The ceramic material can suddenly shatter or break while in use, posing a risk of lacerations from broken shards and burn hazards if hot food or liquids spill.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your roaster for the CHEFS logo located at the center of the rimmed base to confirm it is the recalled product.
  2. Identify the product dimensions: the round roasting pan should measure approximately 11.75 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches high, with a removable insert measuring 7.5 inches at the base and 4.5 inches high.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled vertical roaster.
  4. If you purchased the roaster through Target.com, return the product to any Target store for a full refund.
  5. If you purchased the roaster from any other retailer (such as Chefscatalog.com or Cooking.com), discard the product and contact TCC Cooking Company at 800-338-3232 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday to receive a gift card for the purchase price.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
