The Sweet Treat That Turned Dangerous, Aldi Issues Recall

These days, most American households are spending over $1,000 a month on groceries, which means a lot of us are shopping at multiple stores each week just to find the best deals. I hit up three to four different stores when I’m doing my weekly grocery run and Aldi is always one of them.

If you're on a budget, Aldi is definitely worth a visit. The grocery chain has been named the most affordable in Minnesota, but watch out for the Aisle of Shame.

What Is The Walk of Shame at Aldi?

Despite the name, the Aisle of Shame isn’t actually shameful. It’s just that one aisle full of random, non-grocery items that you probably don't need. Think home decor, kitchen gadgets, seasonal finds, patio furniture, candles, throw blankets, and even quirkier things. It's easy to walk in for milk and walk out with five things you didn’t plan on buying.

One item from this aisle is being recalled, and shoppers are being warned to stop using it right away.

More than 21,000 Ambiano Cotton Candy Makers sold at Aldi stores nationwide have been recalled due to a fire risk, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

If you use the cotton candy maker without the included sugar receptacle, the heating element can cause the sugar to ignite, creating a risk of fire and burns. There have already been multiple reports of sparking or fire.
