Cotton candy makers recalled nationwide due to fire hazard. Stop use and get a refund.

Approximately 21,690 Ambiano Cotton Candy makers sold at ALDI are being recalled due to a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recalled units, model number 836098, can ignite when the heating element causes sugar to catch fire, particularly if the product is used without its included sugar receptacle. The company has received 12 reports of sparking or fire incidents related to this hazard, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers who purchased these cotton candy makers are advised to cease using them immediately and to seek a refund.
