Caloric Prestige series stove, 9 years old, was turned off and not in use when it burst into flames. We had flames jumping over a foot in the air. Cause unknown. Electical problem? Wife does not trust the stove anymore.

We
have a Caloric Heritage Series oven.
I was cooking a pizza in it (425 degrees), and my 9 month old son
placed his hand on the OUTSIDE of the oven door. (right in the middle of
the front of the door)
He
started screaming, so I picked him up and ran his hand under cold water.
I thought he was just scared, but then I noticed blisters.
I
took him to the doctor and was told he received second degree burns and
had about 8 different blisters on his hand.
I
never dreamed that he could get burned that bad from touching the
outside of the door. Everyone
else I talk to (including the nurses and doctors he saw) couldn't
believe he got burned that bad from that either.
I'm just wondering if this is a defect, or if stoves normally get
that hot.
It
certainly doesn't sound normal. We are referring Stacie's
complaint to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for further
investigation.
