Sears, Kmart Recall Play Stoves

January 17, 2008    Spanish
Sears and Kmart are recalling about 17,000 'My First Kenmore' play stoves because of a tip-over hazard.

A metal bracket connecting the door to the stove can cause a tip-over when the door is opened. This poses a risk of injury to young children.

Sears has received one report of the product tipping over, resulting in bruises to a child.

The self-assembled, wooden play stove is painted pink with six white knobs and a timer. The dimensions of the stove when assembled are 11 1/2' W x 13 3/4' D x 32 7/8' H.

The stoves, made in Taiwan, were sold at Sears and Kmart stores nationwide from September 2007 through November 2007 for about $100.

Consumers should immediately remove and discard the bracket that connects the door to the stove to eliminate the hazard. Consumers may obtain updated assembly instructions by contacting Sears/Kmart or by visiting either firm's Web site. In some products, the updated assembly instructions are already included and replacement instructions are not required.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Sears/Kmart at (800) 659-7026 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Saturday, or visit either www.sears.com or www.kmart.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
