Burn
The hazard

Incidents reported: There have been eight reports of incidents, including one report of minor burns, requiring medical attention.
What to do now
Consumers should stop using the deep fryers immediately and contact The Metal Ware Corp. to request a free replacement cover kit and complimentary gift package.
