Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Jack Eckerd Corporation has voluntarily recalled electric ceramic hot pots sold under the brand names "Wide Mouth Hot Pots" and "Brew Masters." These white ceramic pots, which heat up to 5 cups of liquid, pose a risk of electric shock. The hazard occurs when the heating coil at the bottom is heated without being immersed in liquid, damaging the coil. If a user subsequently stirs the liquid with a metal object while grounded, they could receive a severe electric shock. The affected pots were sold in Eckerd Drug Stores between March and May 1978 in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Colorado, Alabama, and Tennessee for $1.99 to $3.49.
Consumers who purchased these hot pots should return them to an Eckerd Drug Store for a full refund. Customers should bring their sales receipt, the original product box, or other documentation of purchase if available, though the recall record does not specify whether such documentation is required for the refund.
