CPSC, BSH Home Appliances Corp.Announce Recall of Thermal/Microwave Ovens
BSH Home Appliances Corp., of Los Angeles, Calif.
Hazard
The oven door may not lock properly when the oven is put into the "self clean" mode. While the oven is in "self clean" mode, intense heat is generated to clean the oven. If oxygen is introduced by opening the oven door during the "self clean" mode, combustible material left inside can ignite and pose a fire risk.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the "self clean" mode of the recalled ovens immediately and contact Thermador to arrange for a free inspection and, if needed, free repair.
Sold at
Appliance and specialty stores nationwide sold the ovens to homebuilders and contractors, from about May 2000 through May 2001, for about $3,000 to $4,600.
Affected count
About 2,300
Injuries reported
None reported.
Products
Thermador® combination thermal/microwave ovens
