Viking Range Recalls Freestanding Gas Ranges Due to Risk of Gas Leak and Fire Hazard
Viking Range LLC, of Greenwood, Miss.
Hazard
The rigid gas tubing can separate at the joint to the bake, broil and griddle burners, posing a risk of a gas leak and fire hazard when these burners are in operation.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the bake, broil and griddle functions to avoid a risk of gas leak and contact Viking Range to arrange for a free repair by an Authorized Service Provider. Consumers can continue to use only the top surface burners of the range. Surface burners are those covered by the cooking grates on the top surface of the range. The griddle and ovens should not be operated.
