Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200617-C1D85-2147371645. Severity: Injury, Seen by Medical Professional. Product: Adora Jgb720sej3ss (Adora GE gas range convection Model Jgb720sej3ss). Incident: I have an Adora 5.0 gas range. I normally love gas stoves and this one had self cleaning feature. The knobs peeled the silver and the lower drawer is so light it has difficulty shutting straight so always requires two hands to keep it from derailing. For two years I struggled with fire alarms going off every time I warmed a can of veggies on the stove. I had to use vent fan, and a kitchen fan even with something like a grilled cheese. Two years I cooked with this stove ...one Saturday I turned the oven in and next thing I know the underside of the oven tray...below the bottom, where�s the grills light,... suddenly was on fire and billowing smoke. We put it out with water and husband was quick to blame my cooking spills. After removing the tray he found a pile of dog kibble...charred to little black briquettes. But there were no drips to explain the fire. We cleaned up and vacuumed out . Had pizza that night and guests mentioned a slight smell of gas. The next morning, the residual smell of pizza so I lit a candle. All day. Two day�s later a friend walks into my house and insisted I call the gas company. I did. He arrived and after checking out furnace, fireplace and lines to house ..l all�s well! Except the stove. It�s leaking gas from burners, knobs, the cracks of the oven, the oven it self. it was horrendous. My stove got red tagged ! It sure explains my extreme sleepiness during the day.
