Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190830-CA709-2147377979. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Whirlpool WEE510s0Fs2 (Whirpool glass top stove model: WEE510s0Fs2). Incident: My apartment has a whirlpool glass top stove, and it caught on fire in June. The apartment was built between 2018-2019. My unit was ready and brand new in April, so I have no idea when the apartment complex bought the stoves. I left my apartment for an errand that took 30 minutes and came back to a smoky apartment. I had a pizza box on the stove, and never used the stove or oven that weekend, so I know I didn�t leave anything on. The glass top was destroyed, as well as the microwave above the stove and cabinets. The fire was out by the time I returned home, and the pizza box was burned to ashes. I had to have half the kitchen replaced. Luckily I was not harmed nor were my pets. I do have trauma from the event, as it was scary walking into what could have been a disaster.
