The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with JCPenney, has announced a voluntary recall of about 27,000 Cooks deep fryers.
A faulty heating element in the deep fryer can cause it to overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. JCPenney has received five incident reports concerning the deep fryers, including one report of a minor burn and three reports of damaged counter-tops.
Manufactured in China and sold exclusively at JCPenney stores nationwide, catalog, and
www.jcp.com from August 2007 through January 2008 for about $50, the 1/3 gallon capacity Cooks deep fryer has a brushed stainless steel exterior, a wire mesh basket with a handle, black handles, and a lid with a window. Please check the
CPSC press release for model number and more information.

Consumers should stop using the recalled deep fryer immediately and return it to the nearest JCPenney store for a full refund. For more information, contact JCPenney at (888) 333-6063, or visit their website at
www.jcp.com.
