What Was Recalled
The recall covers the Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue Stainless Steel Sauté Pans, sold as a 2-piece set containing one 10-inch and one 11.5-inch pan. The set carries UPC 0-80313-08131-6 and CPSC Recall Number 26-377.
The pans were manufactured in China and imported by E Mishan & Sons, Inc., based in New York. They sold for approximately $40 per set and were available from August 2021 through February 2026.
The Hazard Explained
According to the CPSC, the metal cap on the screw connecting the pan body to its handle can detach and forcefully eject when the pan is heated on the stovetop. This creates two simultaneous hazards: a flying metal projectile and a superheated metal component capable of causing burns on contact.
The defect is structural — it involves the fastening mechanism of the handle itself, not the non-stick coating or the pan surface.
Incidents and Injuries
E Mishan reported at least 98 incidents in which the metal cap detached and ejected. One consumer documented bruising and burn injuries as a result.
The high incident count relative to a single injury likely reflects the fact that many caps eject without striking anyone — but the unpredictable trajectory of a small metal fragment from a hot pan makes the risk real and difficult to control.
Where the Pans Were Sold
The recalled pans were sold through four channels:
- Costco warehouse locations
- Costco.com
- Walmart.com
- Amazon.com
If you purchased a Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue 2-piece sauté pan set from any of these retailers between August 2021 and February 2026 for around $40, your pans are covered by this recall.
What to Do If You Have One
Stop using the pans immediately. Do not donate them or attempt to repair the handle mechanism yourself.

Consumers must return the pans to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Why This Matters
This recall affects a pan that moved through three of the most widely used online retail channels in the US — Costco, Walmart, and Amazon — over a five-year sales window. Many home cooks may still have these pans in regular rotation without knowing about the hazard.
The nature of the defect — a projectile ejected by heat — is particularly dangerous because it can happen mid-cooking, when a person is standing directly over the stove. Unlike a cracked handle or a loose lid, there is no visible warning. If you cooked with a Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue set anytime in the last few years, verifying whether your pans match the UPC is worth the 30 seconds it takes.
Broader context: the CPSC recall also underscores how long product defects can remain unaddressed before a formal action is taken. The pans were sold from 2021 through February 2026 — nearly five years — before the April 2026 recall was announced.
Conclusion
If you own Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue Stainless Steel Sauté Pans, check the UPC and stop using them immediately. The full refund process is straightforward: call 1-888-230-6698 or visit GSRecall.com. A pan that fires metal fragments while you cook is not worth keeping in service.
