SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240615-D46FE-2147338591. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Samsung Samsung 65' S-Series Ultra HD Smart Tv. Incident: While cooking items on my Samsung stove (model NE63A6511SS/AA), I noticed that my "warming center" had activated without me doing so. A short time later the broiler on the oven activated, though this did not actually turn on. The steam coming from the items cooking on the stove were causing other elements to activate stove was interpreting the steam coming into contact with the control panel button pushes. This presents a burn and fire hazard.

We have found new samsung electric range on three or four times without anyone recalling turning it on. Came home to burner on high with glass candle smoking, wax smoke throughout house, fire alarm sounding and very scared dogs. Think one of the dogs managed to easily push/turn knob. Many complaints on internet about these knobs. They turn on too easily

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20200111-90B04-2147375472. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Samsung Samsung 65' S-Series Ultra HD Smart Tv (Samsung 65 inch TV Model # un65js8500 Samsung 65' S-Series Ultra HD Smart Tv). Incident: I own a Samsung TV model # un65js8500 purchase 4 years ago. Recently, we noticed distortion and light bleed around the edges of the screen. These areas also were extremely hot to the touch. I did an online search and found many incidents of this problem. [REDACTED] I contacted Samsung, sent them photos of my set and they were unwilling to give any relief. My concern is that the extreme heating that is occuring could pose a fire hazard. Some of the complaints indicated the frame melting and people smelling the heat. I have not been able to measure the temperature of my set, but it is enough that I am unable to touch the set for more than a second without danger of injuring my fingers. It appears that Samsung is stone walling that there are issues with this model and are ignoring the potential safety issues.
