There are two things that are irresistible to a great many home cooks: Ice cream and Pampered Chef® parties. In late December 2011 the very popular Pampered Chef® aluminum ice cream dippers had a problem. The normally docile scoopers were found to be able to transformed into projectiles capable of injury to the innocent user.
The scooper's secret weapon is the non-toxic “defrosting” liquid that fills the handle. This liquid warms from the heat of the user's hand during use, which in turn makes it easier to scoop out frozen ice cream. However, if the handles themselves are placed into warm water, the cap & seal can loosen and pressure is created inside the handle to project the seal and cap with “significant force.” Anyone standing in the way of this projectile is in danger of receiving lacerations or bruising if contact is made.
For this reason, The Pampered Chef® is recalling 20,000 of the popular dippers that sold from July 2010 through September 2010.
Customers who purchased the dippers during this time frame via the Pampered Chef® website (www.pamperedchef.com) or from an authorized Pampered Chef® consultant should call Pampered Chef® by phone at (877) 917-2433. A replacement /refund form can also be completed on line at this link.
