CPSC, Tema Dis Ticaret Announce Recall of Multifunction
Ovens
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Tema Dis Ticaret of Izmir,
Turkey, is voluntarily recalling about 3,000 Teba brand
multifunction ovens. The heating elements could accumulate
moisture and cause electrical current to leak, presenting a
potential shock hazard.
CPSC and Tema are not aware of any injuries involving
these ovens. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injury.
Only Teba ovens with model number TFM-5 and a 1996 date
code are involved in this recall. To determine if your Teba
brand oven is involved, check the model number and
date code on the back panel of the unit. The model number
appears on a silver tag/plate immediately below the UL
symbol. The date code appears on a white sticker above the
serial number. The oven is a multifunction cooking appliance
that bakes, broils, grills and toasts food. The unit is
white and measures about 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep and
9.5 inches high. The brand name "Teba" is written on the
front of the unit.
The ovens are packaged in a carton labeled in part,
"Teba Cooking System." There is a picture of the oven on the
carton.
Department and discount stores, home supply centers,
catalogs and QVC (a home shopping television program) sold
the ovens nationwide from April 1996 through July 1997
for about $150.
Consumers should stop using the ovens immediately and
call Tema's U.S. distributor, Aisenstein & Gordon Inc.,
collect (cost charged to company) at (609) 662-9324 from
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday to arrange to
return the oven for a refund or replacement. Tema will pay
all postage costs. Consumers also can contact Aisenstein &
Gordon Inc. at 75C Twinbridge Drive, Pennsauken, NJ 08110.
