G.E. Wall Ovens Pose Fire Hazard: Report

About 244,000 wall ovens are being recalled by General Electric Co. because the ovens could cause a fire or property damage during the self- clean cycle, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says.

To date, there have been 28 cases in which kitchen cabinets have been damaged by escaping heat after oven doors were removed and improperly reattached by installers or consumers. There have been no reports of injuries, Bloomberg news said.

The recall covers GE, GE Profile, Monogram and Kenmore wall ovens sold from October 2002 to December 2004 for between $900 and $3,600. The CPSC advises consumers to inspect the oven door, which won't open into the flat position if it's not properly attached, Bloomberg said.

If there's a problem with the door, consumers should not use the self- clean cycle until a free repair has been completed. The ovens can still be used for normal baking or broiling. For more information, phone GE at (888) 569-1588.
