Martha Stewart fans are loyal to the core. If Martha puts her name behind it, it MUST be good. But a recent product recall of a whooping 960,000 cast iron pots may give those faithful followers reason to pause.
On August 18, 2011, Macy’s Merchandising Group in New York announced a product recall for the Martha Stewart Collection™ Enamel Cast Iron Casseroles. The company has received two complaints that the enamel on the outside of the pots can crack during use, sending the piece of enamel coating shooting through the air like a bat out of h…., well you get the picture. This unexpected projectile presents a laceration or burn risk to anyone standing in its way.

The Martha Stewart Collection™ is printed on both the bottom of the casserole and on the handle of the lid. Those sold between June 2007 and June 2011 are involved in this recall. Macy’s is providing full refunds to anyone contacting them at (888) 257-5949 or via their website at www.macys.com.
