Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240416-12FAF-2147339750. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire FFEF3016VSD (Frigidaire 30 in. 5.3 cu. ft. Electric Range with Self Clean in Stainless Steel Store SKU # 1004698024 Internet # 311224810). Incident: When our Frigidaire electric range (purchased in October 2021) was not in use, the exterior oven glass exploded and shattered all over our kitchen floor. Until this point, we had no issues with the range whatsoever. While in our possession, the glass showed no signs of damage and experienced no impacts or bumps. We have three young children and two dogs. We were all nearby but out of range of the exploding glass shards. It was extremely surprising to witness the explosion. No one was injured. I can imagine the situation being very bad if someone (especially a child) is peering into the oven through the glass or standing anywhere near the oven cooking or doing dishes, etc. when this event occurs. Shards of glass could easily be shot into eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas.
