HSN recalled about 86,000 Kitchen HQ thermal insulated bowls with detachable hinged lids on June 16, 2026 — the lid's metal spring can overheat when the bowl is microwaved, smoking, melting or catching fire. One fire with property damage was reported.
The bowls sold online and through HSN broadcasts from 2023 through early 2026. Owners stop use and contact HSN for a full or partial refund.
A bowl sold for the microwave carrying a spring that must never meet one — the lid forgot what the bowl was for.
HSN recalled 86,000 bowls and refunded buyers after one fire with property damage; the spring, hidden in the hinge, was the part that burned.
Lid spring overheats in the microwave — smoke, melt, fire; 1 fire with property damage; 86,000 bowls sold 2023-2026; HSN refund
The spring is invisible in the lid — the part the buyer cannot see is the part that burns
Three years of broadcasts sold the bowl as microwave-safe with the hazard hinged on top
A product's use case is its safety envelope: a bowl made for the microwave must be microwave through and through, lid included. The spring hid in the hinge and burned the promise.
