Recall: Ganz dancing teapots due to burn hazard
Feb 20, 2012 12:00 PM

Ganz U.S.A., of Cheektowaga, N.Y. has recalled about 2,100 of its Dancing Teapots in the U.S. and 170 in Canada because the handles get extremely hot when the teapot is in use, creating a burn hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada reported.

No incidents or injuries have been reported in relation to this recall.

The recall involves Ganz ceramic teapots that are tilted to appear as if they are dancing, which came in blue, yellow, green, orange, pink and black. The 32-ounce teapots are about 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide, and have SKU number ER19252 and UPC 661371626062 printed on a sticker on the bottom of the teapot.

Manufactured in China, the recalled teapots were sold for about $30 at tea and coffee specialty stores, gift stores, drug stores, kitchen supply stores, hospital gift shops and other retailers nationwide from December 2011 through January 2012.

Consumers should stop using the teapots and contact Ganz for instructions on returning them for a full refund. For more information, call Ganz at 800-724-5902 between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET on Friday, or visit www.ganz.com.

The CPSC is still interested in receiving incident or injury reports either directly related to this recall or involving a different hazard with the same product. Reports can be made at www.saferproducts.gov.

You can report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, by calling the CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 800-638-8270 for the hearing impaired.
