Approximately 86,040 Kitchen HQ brand thermal insulated bowls are being recalled due to a significant fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The issue stems from metal springs within the detachable hinged lids, which can ignite when the bowls are placed in a microwave. Consumers have reported instances of smoking, sparking, melting, and even fires when using these bowls in microwave ovens, with one incident leading to property damage.
