Brower Recalls Top Hatch Egg Incubators Due to Fire Hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

Manufacturer: Brower Division of Hawkeye Steel Products Inc., of Houghton, Iowa
Hazard: The base can ignite during use, posing a fire hazard to the consumer.

Description: The product is a round, light gray plastic egg incubator with a clear plastic top used to hatch many different types of eggs. The incubator is 18 inches in diameter and 12 inches tall. The recalled Model TH120 Brower Top Hatch Incubator has two main components - a tray and a base. A crank arm and a turner motor are located in the base.

Thanks for the heads-up; I have one of these incubators, and will have to take a good squint at the base to see if it's from the recalled batch or not. I used it two summers ago; had indifferent success with chicken eggs, but it did rather well with peacock eggs. Catching fire, though; that's not in the hatch manual for any species I work with.
