Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Holmes Group has expanded its recall of Rival® Crock-Pot® slow cookers due to handles on the base that can break, causing hot contents to spill and potentially burn consumers. The recalled models are 3040, 3735, 5025, 5070, and 5445, manufactured before September 2004. These units have removable ceramic bowls that sit inside metal bases and feature a Rival® logo on the front above the control knob. The model number can be found on the UL label on the bottom of the base, and the manufacturing date is indicated by a code stamped on the power plug's prong (the first two digits represent the week of manufacture and the last two digits represent the year).
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the slow cooker and contact The Holmes Group for instructions on how to receive a replacement base.
