CPSC, Wolf Range Co. Inc. and Wolf Appliance Co. LLC Announce Recall of Gas Ranges
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Wolf Range Co. Inc., of Compton, Calif., and Wolf
Appliance Co. LLC, of Fitchburg, Wis., are recalling about 15,000
residential gas ranges for repair. Wolf Appliance Co. acquired the
product line in January 2000. Delayed ignition of gas in the ovens and
broilers can put consumers at risk of burn injuries and fires.
The firms are aware of three incidents of delayed ignition involving
these ranges, including two reports of consumers getting their eyebrows
singed.
These gas ranges were sold under the Wolf® and Wolf Gourmet®
brand names, which are written on the front of the ranges. These are 30-
inch, 36-inch, 48-inch, and 60-inch natural gas and LP ranges with the
following serial numbers: 60-10000000 through 60-1099999 and 11000957
through 11006106. In most units, the serial number is located on the
left side of the range beneath the removable burner pan on the range
top. On some 48 inch models, the serial number is located in the same
area on the right side. The ranges were either stainless steel or black
steel.
Kitchen designers and appliance stores sold these ranges
nationwide from January 1996 through June 2001 for about $2,000 for the
30-inch models to about $12,000 for the 60-inch units.
Consumers should immediately stop using the oven and broiler on
these units and call to arrange for a free in-home repair. Consumers who
purchased the range before January 1, 2000 should call Wolf Range Co.
toll-free at (866) 674-3554 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through
Friday. Consumers who purchased the range on or after January 1, 2000
should call Wolf Appliance Co. toll-free at (800) 332-9513 between 7
a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. Consumers who are unsure of
the date of purchase can call either number and the operator will help
them determine which firm to contact.
