Oven mitts really only have one function – to not melt and catch fire.
Not some Proctor Silex Pantone oven mitts sold at Giant Tiger – and that’s why they’re being recalled by Health Canada.
According to the recall, the oven mitts “may melt or catch on fire when in contact with high heat, posing a burn and fire hazard.”
Health Canada says there have been three reports of the mitts melting and catching on fire, but there have not been any injuries.
The recall affects 12,587 pairs of oven mitts sold at Giant Tiger between August 2020 and March 2021. The oven mitts in question are grey, navy, red or taupe.
If you have a pair of them – stop using them and return them to Giant Tiger for a refund.
