Viking Range LLC is recalling approximately 52,000 freestanding gas ranges because the ovens can turn on by themselves without user intervention. Viking has received 75 reports of this occurring, resulting in three burn injuries and four property damage claims. The recalled ranges were sold in various colors and sizes (30 to 60 inches wide) between July 2007 and June 2014 for between $4,000 and $13,000. Viking Range will provide a free in-home repair for all affected consumers.
The oven can activate automatically without being turned on, posing a significant burn hazard to anyone near the appliance and a fire hazard if flammable items are left inside or on the range.
Consumers should immediately contact Viking Range to schedule a free in-home repair. While waiting for a free repair, consumers can contact Viking Range for steps to avoid a burn injury.
