Plain-English summary

The Cookware Company (USA) LLC is recalling approximately 11,160 Greenpan SimmerLite Dutch Ovens with lids. The recall involves six sizes (3.5Q to 7.0Q) in Black Metallic and Smokey Sky Blue colors. The lids are marked with "THE DUTCH OVEN" and "GREENPAN," and the ovens feature Magneto2 Induction Technology. The products were manufactured in China.
