Williams-Sonoma, Inc. has issued a recall of about 28,000 Whirly Whip hot chocolate pots. The handle of the hot chocolate pot can break off during use, posing burn and laceration hazards. The pot is made of white porcelain and has a red handle. The lid has a red knob and a frother attached to the underside of the lid knob.
The company has received 28 reports of handles breaking off of the pots, including eight reports of injuries involving minor burns or cuts. They were sold at Williams-Sonoma stores nationwide, on their Web site and through Williams-Sonoma catalogs from October 2010 through January 2011 for between $30 and $40.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product.
