A recall has been issued for Décor Corporation's selection of oven and microwave-safe tempered glass cookware products at Coles stores nationally from July 19 to August 2, 2011.
This recall was re-announced on 31 August 2011 as it was initially thought that there were only 13 affected units sold at one location (Coles in Berwick, Victoria). It has since been discovered that a much larger number of these products were sold through Coles stores nationally.
