Kitchen Appliances and New Parent Safety Priorities

New parents often conduct a comprehensive home safety audit before a baby arrives or starts crawling. Kitchen appliances belong on that list. Overheating blenders, faulty slow cookers, and sparking toasters have all triggered CPSC recalls affecting millions of units.

Slow cookers and pressure cookers: recall history for lid seal and pressure valve defects Blenders and food processors: recall history for blade and housing failures Toasters and toaster ovens: recall history for fire and overheating risks Baby food makers and bottle sterilizers: separate recall tracking under baby products

How to Check Your Kitchen Appliances for Recalls

The CPSC maintains a searchable recall database at cpsc.gov/recalls. You can filter by product category, brand, and year. For most kitchen appliances, you will need the brand and model number, which is printed on the bottom label of the unit.

Go to cpsc.gov/recalls and select 'Kitchen/Household Appliances' as the category Search by brand name to narrow results Match the model number on your appliance to any recalled models Contact the manufacturer if you find a match or need to verify by serial number

Before baby starts solid foods, the kitchen appliances already in your home deserve a recall check.

Registering Kitchen Appliances for Ongoing Recall Alerts

A one-time database check is a starting point, not a complete solution. New recalls are issued year-round. Registering your appliances ensures you are notified automatically whenever a new recall is issued for your specific models.

Locate the serial number on the bottom or back label of each appliance Visit each manufacturer's product registration page to enroll Use the same email address for all registrations for easy management Or consolidate everything in Bawte for centralized tracking

Protect Your Kitchen Before Any Issue Arises.

Bawte monitors CPSC recall databases for all your registered kitchen appliances and sends you an alert the moment a notice is issued.

What to Do If a Kitchen Appliance Is Recalled

If a recall involves fire risk, electrical shock, or other immediate hazard, stop using the appliance immediately. Contact the manufacturer for the remedy, which is provided at no cost and typically does not require the original receipt.

Unplug and remove the appliance from use if the recall cites a fire or shock risk Contact the manufacturer's recall line with the model number and serial number Do not use a recalled appliance while waiting for a remedy Remedy options vary: replacement parts, full replacement, or refund
