203,000 ovens recalled over multiple fire and injury reports

TOPEKA (KSNT) - The Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning people about a potential fire hazard lurking in their kitchens.

The CPSC announced on Friday, May 17 that Electrolux Group is recalling some of its Frigidaire and Kenmore smooth-top electric ovens due to numerous reports of burns and fires. The danger comes with the surface heating elements which can turn on by themselves, fail to turn off after being switched off and temperatures can be different from those selected by users.
