The oven was set to 350 degrees. The consumer went outside to do some yard work and when she returned, she noticed a burning odor. She checked the oven and found that there was a slit in the glass backing dish and some of the casserole had dripped from it down onto the heating element. The consumer turned the oven off and attempted to remove the dish. As soon as she touched the dish with her pot-holder, it began to shatter. The consumer had other baking dishes in the oven at the time and she said glass shards had flown from the cracked dish into the food of the other dishes that were in the oven at that time. As soon as she touched it with her pot-holder, the dish began to shatter even more. There were no injuries.
