Is my product affected?

Fondue sets

  • Brand Lifetime Hoan Corp., of Westbury, N.Y.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Lifetime Hoan Corp. is recalling burners sold with certain Farberware and Roshco fondue sets due to fire and burn hazards. Some alcohol burners can produce flames that extend beyond the fondue pot's cooking surface, while one model with a chafing fuel holder risks tipping over as the fuel burns down. The recalled Farberware models are 86600 (two styles), 86700, 86702, and 76743, and the Roshco model is 58903. Only the burners are being recalled, not the entire fondue sets, and the model number can be found on the product box rather than on the set itself.

Consumers who have one of these recalled fondue sets should immediately stop using the burners and contact Lifetime Hoan Corp. to learn how to dispose of them. Those with the recalled alcohol burners will receive a $4 coupon toward the purchase of Sterno canned chafing fuel. Lifetime Hoan Corp. can help consumers determine whether their burner is included in this recall.

Hazard

Some sets have alcohol burners that can produce high flames beyond the intended-cooking surface of the fondue pot. Another set, which uses chafing fuel, is being recalled because the chafing fuel holder could tip as it burns down. Both problems present potential fire and burn hazards to consumers.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the burners immediately and contact the company to find out how to dispose of the burners. Consumers with recalled alcohol burners will be sent a $4 coupon toward the purchase of Sterno® canned chafing fuel.

Details from the source

The fondue sets were sold under the brand names Farberware® (model nos. 86600 (two styles), 86700, 86702 and 76743) and Roshco® (model no. 58903). The model number is on the box, not on the fondue set. The brand name is found on the box. The fondue sets are stainless steel and include various components, including a fondue pot, burner, and fondue forks. Only the burners sold with these fondue sets are being recalled, not the entire fondue sets. Lifetime Hoan Corp. will help consumers identify if their burner is recalled. No other fondue set is involved in this recall.
