I've just bought some oven gloves.

Label on them says:

Warning! Keep away from fire Do not allow product to touch naked flames or heat elements.



Since the product clearly can't cope with heat, they are going back for a refund.

Well known High Street retailer either doesn't know what they are doing
or they are covering themselves. I think one of these conclusions is much
more likely than the other.

I doubt you'll find any domestic oven gloves that can be used in a naked flame.

They're insulated, not fire-proof!

They can cope with heat, just not naked flames or contact with elements.

Not seeing the issue here...

Actually it's you that doesn't understand what oven gloves are used for.

Hot tins out of ovens, not handling burning flames and heating elements laugh

Disagree. They should at least be capable of immersion in molten steel without problem.

Get an oven cloth rather than gloves. Much better. Obviously still not fire proof though.

The label is totally factual, it's to deal with thick people who would use them to say, grab things off a camp fire, or rearrange the logs in their burner. They can cope with heat, just not flames.

Why in god's name would you go to the trouble of returning something that is obviously totally fine?

Indeed.

Can I suggest welding gauntlets to the OP?

I'm going to go with the third option - you've mis-read the label and are over-reacting.

It says keep away from "heat elements" - so don't touch the grille element or the hob ring with them, you numpty.
