Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20171109-81D7A-2147395590. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire EFMIS175-BLACK. Incident: The glass heat shield on the front of the oven shattered explosively outward. The oven was not on at the time, but the broiler function had been used recently (within the past 30 minutes). The glass pieces flew up on to the countertop and across the kitchen. It was safety glass, so there were no sharp edges, but if anyone had been directly in front of the oven, the force of the glass could have injured their eyes or face.
