Reported: March 13, 2003 Initiated: March 13, 2003 #03094

Product Description

The recalled fondue pots are labeled on the box as model number 82-384. The pots are brushed stainless steel, with a brushed stainless steel fork guide on the rim of the pot. The sets included six black stoneware sauce/condiment bowls and six chrome-plated forks with color-coded tips. There is a black triangular-shaped handle with a center hole on either side of the fondue pot. The fondue pot sits on a black, four-legged stand, which houses the burner. The fondue sets were sold under the brand name "Trudeau."

Reason for Recall

The plastic handles that are attached to the fondue pots can melt and crack during heating on a range top, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the fondue set and contact Trudeau to receive a replacement fondue pot with handles that will not melt or crack, and an incentive gift set of six stoneware fork rests.
