National Presto Industries, Inc. in partnership with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Presto voluntarily recalled all Presto indoor electric smokers (Model No. 0601304 and Model No. 0601405). Presto had received reports of smokers tripping circuit breakers and GFCI outlets. After examining the smokers, Presto determined that the heating element/wiring on each unit was defective, posing a potential shock hazard to consumers. There had been no reports of injury or property damage, but out of an abundance of caution, the Company decided to recall all units from the marketplace. The Company has advised consumers who have a Presto indoor electric smoker to immediately stop using the unit and to visit Presto’s website at www.gopresto.com/recall for details on how to return the product to receive a refund. Those consumers who do not have access to the internet may call 1-833-909-1524 instead.
