Sensio slow cookers, sold at Kohl’s, recalled for fire hazard
September 1, 2010 12:23 PM
Cooker_recall The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Sensio Inc. have announced a recall of 25,000 Sensio slow cookers. The CPSC disclosed that there have been 60 reports of control panels smoking, melting, and sparking, and 3 reports of the panels catching fire. That’s particularly hazardous since slow cookers are often left unattended.

The recall involves the Bella Kitchen model WJ-5000DE 5-quart programmable slow cooker with date codes 0907 or 0909.  They were sold exclusively at Kohl’s Department Stores from July through December 2009.
