It does look like a toaster oven did it, but it was just a regular oven. I set it on the bars and it actually began melting between them. Image

Leather doesn’t melt. You put a vinyl glove in an oven.

    The tag does not say the glove is made of leather, that’s simply the Franklin “leather series”, a meaningless marketing term meant to trick people.
    
    The Franklin page clearly states those gloves are made. of “synthetic leather”, e. g. Polyurethane, Vinyl etc.:

    Plus, the synthetic leather comes with a pre-formed pocket which is designed to break in exactly to your liking quickly and easily.
    
    EASY BREAK IN: The soft synthetic leather material is lightweight and responsive […]
    
    You put a plastic glove in your oven at 350. By the way, depending on the material, in particular when talking about Vinyl, burning it may release incredibly toxic fumes, although that mostly applies to PVC. Depending on the details, I’d still considered that oven ruined though, at least for food.
    
    I get that this sucks in more ways than one, but how the heck did you not actually check the complete material composition… almost all modern items are a mix of different materials anyway.

    Ugh, are there no consumer protection laws against this shit? Or just no enforcement?
