Purchase ecolution micro pop popcorn popper. Used it a few times. After using it notice it has cracked and glass chards were mixed in after popping. Would send pictures of original box and popper but I see I no opportunity to do so. What would happen if somebody doesn't notice this issue and eats their popcorn and gets cuts and or dies from such an issue. Purchased from Meijer in Grand Rapids but didn't keep the receipt because I had faith in your product. Now I rea ly don't because of this happening. Going to complain to consumers affairs and any where else I can find to do so. I would ask for a refund or even a replacement but I seen your warranty about refunds. Unused and in same condition in box. In hope in with the complaints I am about to place everywhere. I hope it gets your company sued in case of someone or somebody who gets injured using your product. It shouldn't be sold as an item that considered safe on the market for purchasing.

Presto company makes an air popper for popcorn, model number 048-6602. I have one, and I have tried numerous types of popcorn, different amounts of popcorn, always fresh popcorn etc., in this product. I always have a major problem with it spewing unpopped corn all over the kitchen at high-speed. It’s Bewes them at a distance and they are very hot,I checked reviews of this product and many others are having the same problem my concern is that the product doesn’t do what it meant to do which is just simply pop popcorn. Because many unpopped kernels are always left and the other concern is more serious I think it is dangerous to have a hot flying missiles of unpopped corn flying about. I have grandchildren or sometimes with me but I would never use this product when they’re here in case they might get hit by a flying hot popcorn kernel.

I was using a Rival Popcorn Popper Kitchen Appliance (model #RV-932) and the product began to smoke, burning the unpopped seeds in the bottom interior of the appliance. This product also produced enough heat to melt the clear plastic cover and had jammed and caused popcorn to nearly burn one other time. It was less than a year old!

While popping corn, the appliance caught fire. The plastic top melted into the bowl placed under it to catch the (now flaming) popcorn, and the blower blew flames into the air.

Shortly after plugging the popcorn popper into the wall outlet to allow it to run prior to use it she powered it in the on position and powered it in the off position within three meant when she noticed the on/off switch had a spark in it. She unplugged it immediately and placed it back into the original packaging. On/Off switch sparks when turned OFF - every time!! She contacted the firm and reported the incident with them. The representative that she spoke with (name was not provided) advised her that it might be an isolated incident and that she could return it to the retailer or exchange it and if she got a new one and the same incident occurred to please call back. On 9/10/2011 she exchanged it at the retailer for the same model. Following the first steps that were taken the day before she experienced the same failure. On 9/13/2011 She contacted the firm and was recommended to contact the retailer. She bought it to the attention of the manager that she had 2 popcorn poppers that had sparks flying from the on/off switch. The manager showed no interest and laughed at the consumer. Later that date she returned the product to the retailer and received a full refund. On 9/15/2011 she contacted the firm again and wanted to know if there was a recall in affect and she was advised by the representative (name is unknown) that once they receive a certain number of reports and or a certain number of phone calls for a product for them to recall it. The consumer indicated that a person could seriously harm themselves with the product.

We have a wonderful popcorn machine that did a strange thing just tonight. We had the light on (only), warming up some popcorn in our great popcorn machine that we purchased from you a couple of years ago (in 2008-2009 timeframe), and it nearly burnt our house down--a large fireball and a great deal of smoke that began to fill our house until the short completely burned the wire out and it disconnected. After we successfully disconnected the machine from power and eliminated the fire hazard, I noted that the cable leading to the popping pot shorted somehow and melted inside the connector that is between the closed top of the unit and the inside of the glass area. I have the burner disconnected now, and have verified that the switches to the turner and the light are unaffected, and the lights and turner still operate. So the problem was with the wire going from the wiring harness to the popping pot. The Popcorn Machine was sold to us by Great American Popcorn company in late 2008 or early 2009. The model number is UE40010.

While making popcorn with a Cuisinart model CPM-100 Hot Air Popcorn Maker, my daughter attempted to turn it off after completing the process, using the ON/OFF switch. When she did so, the popper continued to run, and we observed the sound and smell of electrical arcing. She had the presence of mind to unplug the unit prior to any of the plastic catching fire. The device is less than a year old, and has the following on the label: 120V 60Hz 1500W. It also has 20627 as a possible serial number. This device has never been immerced in water, nor used outside, so the switch has not been exposed to water, the only reason for this type of incident other than the switch being insufficient for the amperage of the device.

Rival Air Popcorn Popper is unsafe because it gets too hot. The plastic on top got so hot it melted and the base burned our hands when touching. Popper spews hot kernals out really fast and they go every where.
