As any cook, novice or professional, knows, nothing will set you back in the kitchen quite like burning yourself on a cookie sheet or cast iron pan. But traditional oven mitts are often cumbersome and prohibit you from grabbing what you need. That's why many people have switched to oven gloves, which offer heat protection and dexterity. And while it's a great concept, 1.1 million pairs of these gloves sold through QVC have just been recalled.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the gloves were made by the brand Temp-tations and were sold through QVC's television shopping channel and website between August 2018 and August 2024.
They've been recalled because "QVC has received 162 reports of insufficient heat protection including 92 reports of minor burns."

The gloves in question come in a variety of colors and prints and were sold as single pairs, sets of two pairs, and sets that came with drying mats or trivets. "They are made of cotton and elastane and come in small and large sizes. 'Temp-tations by Tara' is printed on a label stitched to the inside of the gloves," says the CPSC. They have the following model numbers: K51459, K76398, K47973, K48879, K85322, K96004, K92603, K308719, K309220, K309388 and K309516.
