Target Lasagna Pan Recall Issued After Cuts, Laceration Reports

About 148,700 lasagna pans sold exclusively at Target have been recalled following reports of the pans cracking during normal use, including dozens of reported problems, including some cases where consumers suffered cuts and lacerations.  

A Giada De Laurentiis Ceramic 9×13 inch lasagna pan recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on April 24, after Target received at least 39 reports indicating the pans may crack during regular use. Six customers reported they suffered cuts and lacerations from the cracked edges of the pan.

The recall includes 9×13 inch ceramic lasagna pans marketed with the “Giada De Laurentiis” name. The recalled lasagna pans are cream colored and were sold individually and in six-piece sets with the name Giada de Laurentiis stamped on the bottom of the pans.

The recalled lasagna pans were manufactured in China and imported by Wilton Industries Inc., of Woodridge, Illinois and Target Corporation of Minneapolis Minnesota where they were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online at target.com from January 2009 through October 2012 for roughly $22 per individual pan or between $35 and $50 for the six piece sets.

The CPSC recommends that consumers immediately stop using the recalled pans and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
