Nearly 750K sauté pans recalled over metal caps that 'eject' when heated

Recalled sauté pans (CPSC)

Nearly 750,000 sauté pans sold at Costco, Walmart and Amazon have been recalled over bruising and burn risks. 

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recall was issued April 2 because the metal cap on the screw that connects the pan to the handle can become detached and forcefully eject when heated, "posing impact and burn hazards to consumers."
