This popular cooking appliance could electrocute you, so return it now

• A popular brand of smokers is being recalled due to an electrical defect that poses a potential shock hazard to consumers.
• Presto brand indoor electric smokers with model numbers 061304 and 061405 are included in the recall, and the company estimates that around 25,000 of the units were sold across the United States.
• The smokers were sold at popular retails like Sears, Kmart, Shopko, and were also available online via Amazon, Kohls, and Walmart.

With the coronavirus pandemic still raging across the United States despite the (admittedly slow) vaccine rollout, lots of people have been doing more home cooking than usual. If you invested in a new indoor smoker in 2020, you're going to want to check the model number before you use it again, as tens of thousands of smokers from a popular brand are now recalled due to the possibility of electrocution.

The recall bulletin states that the indoor smokers have some kind of defect with their electrical system that may result in an electrical shock to someone using it. That's obviously not good, and with approximately 25,000 of the smokers in the homes of consumers across the United States, the risk of an injury is very real.
