Wuensche USA is recalling about 21,690 Ambiano Cotton Candy Makers because the heating element can cause sugar to ignite, posing a fire risk. The firm has received 12 reports of sparking or fires involving these devices, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled units were sold in red or teal with clear plastic covers at ALDI stores nationwide between August and September 2024.
If the product is used without the included sugar receptacle, the heating element can ignite the sugar and start a fire. Twelve incidents of sparking or fires have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cotton candy maker and contact Wuensche or ALDI for a refund. Consumers can either return the fully intact cotton candy maker to any ALDI retail location for a full refund or submit a photo of the cotton candy maker with the unplugged power cord cut and a photo showing the model number 836098 and date code 08/2024 via email to Wuensche at service@801service.net.
"Ambiano" and the model number are printed on the packaging and the bottom of the unit.
