This has been done to death already, months ago.  Also, I've had mine [2] a few years longer than that, and will not stop using them.

In my humble opinion,  the danger is as stated.  [ People are just so stupid.]

 

"What are the defects?

So, if people use them correctly, there should not be a problem.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Gday...

It appears this recall is not for "explosions" but rather for possible carbon monoxide poisoning -
