National retail chain Walmart is recalling Rival brand electric griddles today because of a shock hazard.
"The heating element can crack and water can get inside, posing a shock hazard when the griddle is plugged into an electrical outlet," the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a release Wednesday.
Consumers who have griddles with model number XJ-14207 should return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
The model number can be found on the bottom of the griddle on a label mold.
“Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled griddles and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund,” the CPSC said.
The home appliance brand is sold exclusively at Walmart in stores and online. The griddle sold for about $20 from July 2015 to December 2015.
About 330,000 units are being recalled.
