I could use some advise here...can you help out????
 

anyone buy and use the SUPER WAVE OVEN...it roasts, bakes, broils, air-fries, grills and boils plus can steam. It is a 16 qt one.

We live in California. When we got it we found a tag warning on top .... saying this product contains a chemical or chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other re-productive harm.

We called about it and they said it just meant an outside 'ring on the lid, and was no contact with contents inside. They didn't advertise that warning on TV (That is where we saw it and bought it). Said it would cook an 18 lb turkey inside 3 x's as fast as a regular oven.

We'd like to use it but now am afraid too. It cost $129 total, with free shipping. YIKES...what to do...what to do. Why run an ad that goes to California, that should not be used in California. I'm past the re-production process by years, but cancer does run in my family. What to do ...what to do....any lawyers or informed minds on this product out there? PM me if you wish.

Send it back...simple! G

ignore it.
it's just another example of the hysteria and hype to which we are so constantly subjected in place of common sense.

I'm with Patrice on this one.

So, only California is concerned about its citizens? Seems like an over-reaction to me, but I do understand if cancer runs in your family that you would probably be happier sending it back.

California is more progressive than most places; and quicker to act when there is a health threat to folks.

I would send it back.

Don't know about the hazard warning.....just an FYI....bought one a few yrs ago, daughter bought first and raved about it....so I bought too. Yes it does cook food faster......but I was not impressed..guess in from the old school of stove/oven cooking. Used it a few times, now sits on shelf above cabinets in laundry room along with panini maker, donut maker and a few other gadgets....must have a garage sale and get rid of all that stuff!

Ditto Gigi! SEnd it back! I'll just stick to using my regular oven. Take the backbone out of that turkey and you'll save more time. Cook the backbone and the giblets on the side for broth and dressing.

A co-worker of mine uses this one all the time, she said it's a healthier way of cooking for her family. She is always trying to get me to buy one, but I don't have the space for one.

Do you use a microwave? That's a great way to encourage cancer, not to mention totally changing the chemical structure of your food, so that your body doesn't recognize it as food. Do you drink water or drinks from plastic bottles? Another hazard. In the world we live in today, you have to pick your poison... it's all around us, and we could easily become "crazy," just listening to all the blather out there. And speaking of drinking water... do you REALLY know what's in your drinking water? You might try sending a sample of it off to a lab for analysis, if you really want a good reason to freak out. <G> If I lived in California, I'd be FAR more concerned about the ubiquitous radiation contamination from Fukushima than anything else these days. Did they tell you about that? Bet not! USE YOUR OVEN AND ENJOY IT IN PEACE!

Everything in California ia known to cause cancer. Do your Internet research and you will probably find out that you can ignore it. froggyintexas

It was probably tested on 5 million rats at an exposure of 26 hours a day. Don't let all the hype scare you off. The chances of it causing any problem are truly minimal

If we get rid of everything that has any kind of warning we would be living like the early settlers. Hey, that don't sound so bad.

I had something similar in the 90;sudually cooked in it twice a day in our truck and would heat water to do the few dishes I had it finally wore out. I liked it so much that I bought another one a couple of years ago. I had cancer in the 80's but that was before I got the oven . I didnt get cancer from using it

thanks a million to each one of you for the helpful advise. I appreciate it so much. HUGS by the bucket

I agree. California has so many "environmental laws" that don't even make sense. How many plants and products can't be sent to California for who knows what reasons. Ignore it and cook your turkey!

I have one for the RV have used it often.

Nice way to politicize a thread. :)

Send it back Vickey if you feel uncomfortable about using it, I would.

Peace of mind ,send it back. End of story.

If you're going to think about it every time you use, I go with Janice E. Peace of mind, send it back.

I lived in California for over 40 years and have seen lots of those warnings on multiple items. However, I've also seen the same warning in diners, beauty shops, appliance repair shops, gardening centers, etc. I think it's all a matter of exposure, weeks or months vs. hours or minutes. But, there is no concern on the part of the people who work in all those places and there's no news about all those people getting cancer and suing the shops or the government, so I wouldn't worry about it. Don't take the oven apart, don't mess with the gasket or innards.

I think you have to do what YOU feel most comfortable with. If using the oven is going to make you nervous or make you worry, you should just return it. If you can use it without concern, then keep it. Alondra is right that there are lots of hazards out there if we look but we can't do things that cause us worry.
