Tell Pat to stop reading when he is out and about! (Just kidding!)
I am still wondering if the manufacturer will recall the other ones they make. I would image they make them all the same, so why would the PC one being the only one with an isse? I know we have high standards (and I am glad we do.)

I was at Target today. All the ice cream dippers with the plastic caps are gone. I could not find anyone to ask but I wonder if they are out, Target pulled them or the company recalled them too or what. I have paddle by the same company with the same plastic cap on it. Never had an issue and all of mine are well over 9 years old. Unless it was just newer ones? I may have missed that it was certain dates. It will be interesting to see if they come back to Target or not. I do like our new one. Dishwasher safe! No more hunting in the silverware rack to make sure it is not there!

I noticed it in my husband's issue and it was just a quote from a consumer about the dipper. Said something about the cap flying off and the liquid going all over, in my eyes and in my mouth. And of course a picture of the dipper. I can't remember everything but it definitely was just a tiny little quote from a consumer.
