Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160417-8BC61-2147420140. Severity: Unspecified. Matched catalog product: Cuisinart TOB-40. Incident: I purchased this item in March 2012 for home use for our family of four. Several months ago I noticed a crack in the lower heating element. That area glows brighter than the rest of the element. I don't know how long the crack had been there before I noticed it.
