If your microwave bowl is HSN Kitchen HQ, stop using the lid today



If you have an HSN Kitchen HQ thermal insulated bowl at home, the urgent issue is not the food inside it. It is the detachable hinged lid. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on June 11, 2026 that metal springs inside the lid can catch fire when the product is used in a microwave.

This is not a minor overheating note. CPSC says HSN received 30 reports of bowls smoking, sparking, melting, or catching fire in the microwave, including one fire with property damage. That makes this a real kitchen-use decision, not a background recall to ignore.

Models to check today

• 10-cup bowl: SKN 817800
• 10.5-cup and 2-cup pair: SKN 884907
• 10.4-cup, 6-cup, and 2-cup set of three: SKN 900600

The bowls have a metal interior, plastic exterior, and the words KITCHEN HQ on the front. They were sold on HSN.com, televised HSN shows, and HSN digital platforms from July 2023 through February 2026 for about to .

What to do now

• Do not microwave the recalled lid again.
• If the model matches, stop using the product and start the recall refund process.
• If you want to keep the bowl body, check the official option for a partial refund without the lid.

The practical household mistake here is assuming that “it only smoked once” means it is still usable. The official remedy is a full refund for a complete bowl and lid set, or a partial refund for consumers who keep the bowl without the lid.

Easy to miss

• The problem is tied to the lid hardware, not just general microwave wear.
• If you lend, donate, or resell kitchen items, this one should not be passed on.
• Households should check older pantry or holiday serving sets too, because the sale window runs back to 2023.
