Has anyone had an issue with this catching fire?

Had a customer buy a new one - really loves it - but had to replace because a corner caught fire in microwave. After many uses. TTV Redondo Beach.

Hi Tom - We take product safety very seriously and after the customer also reached out to us we looked into this matter further. The team here has never heard of this happening before. As the customer told us they had used their pouch “many many many times” without issue, our guess is that an oil somehow transferred onto the pouch by accident causing it to smoke when heated for a long period of time. We advise careful use when putting materials in a microwave. If you have any further questions or thoughts on this, you can reach out to us via our Live Website Chat or by emailing us at support@tenthousandvillages.com. Thanks!

You need this!

This is one of the things that I didn't know I needed it till I actually got it and started using it. Now I can't imagine making baked potatoes without it! Super functional and easy to use.
