Walmart is recalling about 330,000 Rival brand electric griddles because the internal heating element can crack. If water enters a cracked element, it poses a shock hazard to anyone using the device. These black griddles, model number XJ-14207, were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online from July 2015 through December 2015 for approximately $20. Consumers should stop using the product and return it to any Walmart store for a full refund.
The griddle's heating element can develop cracks that allow water to seep inside the electrical components. This creates a risk of electric shock to the user when the griddle is plugged into a wall outlet.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled griddles and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
