What happened

Trudeau Corp. has recalled fondue sets with model number 82-384 due to a safety hazard. The plastic handles attached to the fondue pots can melt and crack when heated on a range top, which poses burn and fire hazards to consumers. The recalled sets are brushed stainless steel fondue pots with black triangular-shaped handles, a brushed stainless steel fork guide, six black stoneware sauce bowls, six chrome-plated forks with color-coded tips, and a black four-legged stand that houses the burner.

Consumers who own one of these fondue sets should immediately stop using it. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Trudeau to receive a replacement fondue pot with handles that will not melt or crack, along with an incentive gift set of six stoneware fork rests.
