Associated Recall

Incident Details

Incident Description: Purchased Cuisinart brand grilling tools from TJMaxx, Rossford OH. While using the turner/spatula to press down on hamburgers, tool broke where the body of the tool meets the handle. Tool dropped onto hot grill, and hand came into contact with surface of grill (I survived!). Examining remains of tool, it appeared to be snapped together, not very sturdy, in my opinion.
