Fire and Burn Risks Prompt Recall of Commercial Nacho Cheese and Chili Dispensers
About 115,000 Gehl’s nacho cheese and chili sauce dispensers are being recalled because the commercial products may catch fire, cause property damage, and burn consumers.
Gehl Foods Inc. of Germantown, Wis. and the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall of some of the company’s HOT TOP2 dispensers, which are found in restaurants, convenience stores, cafeterias, and other food service outlets.
The company has received 12 reports of a faulty fan blade inside the machines coming into contact with the heater coil. In one of the cases, the unit caught fire and caused property damage, but no physical injuries have been linked to the defective food dispensers, officials said.
Three Model Numbers Recalled
The recall includes Gehl Food’s commercial nacho cheese and chili sauce dispensers with model numbers HT2-04 Single, HT2-04 Dual, and HT2-03 APS with serial numbers HT2 164500 through HT2 299689, the CPSC said. The model and serial numbers are located on the back of the dispensers. The name “Gehl’s” is printed on the front of the machines.
The machines were manufactured in the United States and leased to commercial customers nationwide from December 2003 through September 2009, officials said.
Food establishments and consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nacho cheese and chili sauce dispensers and contact the firm for a free repair by Gehl, or to receive a free repair kit to be installed by the customer.
