Rival Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Holmes Group Inc. is recalling Rival Crock-Pot slow cookers with model numbers 3040, 3735, 5025, 5070, and 5445 that were manufactured before May 2002. The handles on the base of these slow cookers can break, which poses a risk of burns from hot contents spilling onto consumers. You can identify a recalled unit by finding the model number on the UL label on the bottom of the base or by checking the date code on the power cord plug—any plug dated from the 1st week of 1999 through the 18th week of 2002 is included in the recall.
If you own one of these recalled slow cookers, you should immediately stop using the product and contact The Holmes Group to receive instructions on how to get a replacement base.
