Over 700,000 Sauté Pans Recalled for Burn Hazard After Reports of Detaching Handles The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of more than 700,000 sauté pans sold at Costco, Walmart, and Amazon due to a burn hazard. The recall was initiated by E Mishan & Sons, a New York-based importer and distributor, which issued a notice on April 2, 2026, citing safety concerns with its Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue stainless steel sauté pans. The affected products are linked to at least 98 incident reports, including one case where a consumer suffered bruising and burn injuries. The recall stems from a critical flaw in the pans’ design: the metal cap on the screw that connects the pan to its handle can detach when heated. This detachment causes the handle to forcefully eject, creating an impact and burn hazard for users. The CPSC’s notice emphasizes that the issue arises when the pans are subjected to high temperatures, a common occurrence during cooking. The company’s announcement highlights the potential for severe injury, particularly for children or individuals handling the pans without proper caution. The affected sauté pans are part of a two-piece set, featuring a 10-inch and an 11.5-inch pan. Both models are identified by the Universal Product Code (UPC) 0-80313-08131-6. These products were sold in physical stores at Costco and online via Costco.com, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com between August 2021 and February 2026. The retail price for the set was approximately $40, though the exact pricing may vary depending on the platform or promotional offers. Consumers who own the recalled pans are advised to stop using them immediately. E Mishan is offering a full refund to affected customers, but the process requires returning the product to the company.#amazon #walmart #costco #us_consumer_product_safety_commission #e_mishan_sons
