World News – United States – Sunbeam Crock-Pot Recall 2020: How to Get a Free Repair

Sunbeam Products has recalled nearly 1 million crock pots after receiving 99 reports of burn injuries from the product.

The recall concerns Express Crock Multi-Cooks 6 liter crock pots with the model number SCCPPC600-V1 located on the label on the bottom of the device.

The crock pots were from 1. Manufactured July 2017 to October 2017. 1, 2018 and have date codes from K196JN to K365JN and L001JN to L273JN. The date code is engraved on one of the prongs of the electrical connector on the underside of the base.

The crock pots were sold nationwide in retail stores like Walmart and Target, as well as online on Amazon. com and other online retailers from July 2017 to November 2020. The crock pots sold for around $ 70 to $ 100.
