Caloric Heritage Series Ovens
 


Chris of Hemet, CA, writes:
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.

Stacie of Nekoosa, WI, writes:

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.
