  • Samsung Recalls 1 Million Electric Ovens in US Over Fire Risk

    Samsung Recalls 1 Million Electric Ovens in US Over Fire Risk

    Samsung Electronics America is recalling 1.12 million electric ovens sold in the United States between 2013 and 2024 due to reports of hundreds of fires. These incidents have resulted in injuries and the deaths of pets.

    Faulty Knobs Spark Massive Samsung Oven Recall

    The issue lies with the faulty front knobs, which can be easily turned on accidentally by people or pets, creating a serious fire hazard.

    According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the faulty knobs have been linked to approximately 250 fire incidents, with at least 18 causing significant property damage. These fires have also resulted in injuries to around 40 people, with 8 requiring medical attention.

    Tragically, there have also been reports of 7 pet deaths associated with these fires. The agency has pinpointed the front knobs on these Samsung ovens as the primary issue, noting that they are particularly sensitive and can be accidentally activated by even slight contact. This can occur when objects are placed near the knobs or when pets or small children brush against them. With the oven unknowingly turned on, the risk of fire greatly increases.

    Samsung’s Response and Preventive Measures

    Samsung has acknowledged the problem and is taking steps to rectify it. The company is offering free knob locks and covers to prevent accidental activation. For owners of Wi-Fi-enabled ovens, Samsung has also introduced a notification feature through its SmartThings app to alert users when the oven is turned on.

    Here’s the list of the affected models:

    Consumers are urged to check if their Samsung oven is part of the recall and to take immediate action to prevent accidents.

    Safety Recommendations

    While waiting for your free knob locks or covers, the CPSC advises exercising caution. Keep children and pets away from the oven knobs, and always double-check that your oven is turned off before leaving the house or going to bed. Additionally, as a general safety precaution, avoid leaving anything flammable on the stovetop when the oven is not in use.
