Griddle stand on first use failed while hot. Stand leg retaining nut was improperly welded. This resulted in leg not being held in place.

This was the fifth time the item has been used. Thermostat failed while using the panini function. Unit was preheated following the included instructions. A timer was set and the sandwich placed on the grill. Within 60 seconds the sandwich was burning. When the grill was opened to remove the food the clips holding the top plate failed causing the now very hot grill plate to fall. The clips failed at too low a temperature which made using the controls to shut off the device dangerous and moving the device in order to unplug it difficult.

I purchased Black+Decker electric griddle model GD2011B from a Target store in Roseville, MN on 3/11/18. The box for the griddle clearly advertises "Fully immersible base without probe makes clean-up effortless." But the instruction book cleaning instructions say "DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER." and the bottom of the griddle also says "DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER." This product has Intertek / ETL file 2003398. I am more inclined to believe the manual and markings on the product than the box. This means that people just looking at the box will put themselves in danger by immersing the griddle.

I have had a Cuisnart Griddler (model GR-4N) for approximately 10 years. Recently, upon using it, I was shocked by touching its metal top housing. I used a voltmeter to measure the voltage from the housing to ground, and read 120 VAC. This is very dangerous. On disassembly, it became apparent that the uninsulated upper heating element hot terminal had bent upward in the course of use, causing it to come into contact with the steel housing.

Bella 2-N-1 Non-Stick Reversible Grill/Griddle. Model TSK-2399N Item # 14534 Bought Aug 6, 2017 from Walmart. On July 15, 2018 my wife had cooked on the griddle. I was wiping down the griddle with a paper towel when I sliced my right index finger open. I was unaware there was a razor sharp piece of metal between the griddle and the handles. I do not know if it is a design flaw or a production flaw. The metal sticks up to the top of the handle. It is the same on both handles. Since it was late in the evening, I debated on whether to go to the urgent care clinic. I ultimately decided to visit my primary care doctor the next morning. My doctor said that I was lucky that I did not cut any tendons. I received a tetanus shot and my finger was bandaged. My skin has healed but the nerves in my fingertip have not fully healed.

Please allow me to introduce myself: My name is [REDACTED] I Wal Mart grill Model # GRD 20. This grill is absolutely UNSAFE and should not be sold. Please let me explain and please refer to the pictures. As you can see the temperature of this grill heats to 400. I went to cook some pancakes on this grill, and when I put my hands under it to turn its position my fingers got extremely burned, and I was in excruciating pain. Thank God my neighbor is a nurse and she put on [REDACTED] and bandages to relieve the pain. This grill needs to have a handle on each side so in can be moved, thus avoiding putting the consumer from putting their hands underneath it. I bet you wont even bother to address this problem but in case you do I can be contacted at Phone # [REDACTED] Thank You

Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe Model GR-150 Sear function stayed on for 35 minutes overheating the unit and the electrical cord. I was able to cut the power prior to any real damage.

I purchased the Farberware Family Size Griddle Model Number G767 yesterday at my local Walmart. The box has a picture of the griddle being placed in the lower rack of a dishwasher and states it is dishwasher safe. As this is electric, I had my doubts and read the brochure thoroughly. It states not to submerge the griddle in liquid and says the warming tray and drip tray are dishwasher safe. This is very deceiving to the consumer who is. Easily led to believe the griddle is somewhat like the George Foreman and dishwasher safe given the photo on the box and accompanying statement to that effect. If placed in the dishwasher or submerged in water and then plugged in, this could be dangerous
