In voluntary cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, W. P. Appliances, Inc. is recalling its Wolfgang Puck Reversible Tri-Grill/Griddle (model number BRTGG0100), which it imported from China-based manufacturer YouO Electric Appliances Co. Ltd. HSN was the exclusive retailer for the product, and sold some 27,000 units between April 30 and May 6 of this year at an approximate price point of $100.

W. P. Appliances, Inc., has received four reports of electrical shock and two reports of melted plastic housing, due to a defect in the appliance’s electrical wiring that can pose a risk of overheating. The importer has established a toll-free number (1-855-666-0478) to assist customers, and will reimburse them for the full purchase price of the product (including sales tax and shipping and handling).
