One thought on “Sitka — Dutch Oven recall

  1. While this specific product “vests” is being recalled, I believe that Sitka products are usually very high quality, and I own several pieces of their cookware and accessories. While people should certainly pay attention to this recall, I have no problem recommending other Sitka products to my friends, etc.
