Plain-English summary

iDevices LLC is recalling approximately 48,500 Pro Ambient Temperature Probes and Pro Meat Probes in the United States and 510 in Canada. The recall involves probes manufactured from May 2014 through June 2014, which were sold separately or as components of iGrill and Kitchen Thermometer sets. The probes were sold at various retailers and online from May 2014 to June 2014.

The recall is due to a hazard where the plastic insulator inside the stainless steel probe is not heat resistant. During normal use, the insulator can melt and fall into food, posing an ingestion hazard. The company received 11 reports of the probes overheating and the plastic insulator melting, but no injuries were reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled temperature probes. They can contact iDevices LLC toll-free at (888) 313-7019 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website to request a free replacement.
