Plain-English summary

Macy's Merchandising Group is recalling approximately 960,000 units of Martha Stewart Collection™ Enamel Cast Iron Casseroles. The recall involves casseroles in 7 quart, 5.5 quart, and 2.75 quart sizes with various exterior enamel finishes and cream-colored interiors. The products were sold at Macy's stores, AAFES, MCX, and NEX locations nationwide, and on macys.com between June 2007 and June 2011 for between about $25 and $170.

The recall is due to a hazard where the enamel coating on the cast iron casseroles can crack or break during use. This can cause the enamel to fly off as a projectile, posing a risk of laceration or burn to the user or bystanders. Macy's has received two reports of the enamel cracking and flying off during use, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the casseroles and return them to any Macy's store for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Macy's toll-free at (888) 257-5949 between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET or visit www.macys.com.
