Walmart Recalling 330,000 Electric Griddles That May Serve Up A Shock
Though no injuries have been reported so far, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says the heating element can crack and water can get inside, “posing a shock hazard when the griddle is plugged into an electrical outlet.”
The recall involves Rival brand electric griddles with model number XJ-1420, which are black and 20 inches long and 10.5 inches wide. The products were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online from July 2015 through December 2015 for about $20..
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled griddles and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
