Century Cookware Stockpots Recalled

November 27, 2008
Century Cookware stainless steel stockpots are being recalled. They have metal handles that can detach during use, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.

Ocean State Jobbers, the importer, has received one report of the handles breaking off a pot and causing a burn injury.

This recall involves the 8-quart, 12-quart, 16-quart, and 20-quart Century Cookware Stainless Steel Stockpots with glass lids. “Century Cookware” is marked on the front and on the bottom of each pot.

The pots were sold at all Ocean State Job Lot stores throughout New England from July 2008 through October 2008 for between $12 and $25. They were made in India.

Consumers should immediately stop using the stockpots and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
