There has been a recall issued by Alex and the CPSC for children's Alex Super Cooking Sets. The Super Cooking Sets are a 12-piece stainless steel set with miniature pots that have clear glass lids. Each set comes with a pasta pot with glass lid, stockpot with glass lid, frying pan, two potholders and utensils. The cooking sets were sold in a white box with a clear plastic window. "ALEX" and "Super Cooking Set" are printed on the box. A red sticker labeled "unbreakable glass" is affixed to the pot lids. Cooking sets manufactured after April 1, 2006 have stainless steel lids and are not included in this recall.
The reason for the recall is that the supposedly "unbreakable" glass on the covers of the cooking sets can break, and cause injuries to children. ALEX has received a report of a 2 ½ -year-old girl who cut her foot from the broken glass from one of the lids. The cut required stitches.
