Oven rack guards recalled

WASHINGTON, N.Y., Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A distributing company from Union, N.J., is recalling 430 oven rack guards due to a fire hazard, U.S. consumer watchdogs said.

The oven rack guards imported from China by Nantucket Distributing Co. Inc. cannot withstand the temperatures stated as safe on the packaging, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The oven rack guards were sold at Christmas Tree Shops in October 2010 for about $3.

The guards are off-white, 18-inches long with five snaps that secure them to the oven rack. They were sold with SKU number 66262 and UPC number 15697769.

Consumers were advised to return the product to any Christmas Tree Shop for a full refund.
