CPSC, Appliance Corp. of America Announce Recall of Ovens
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Appliance Corp. of America
(ACA) of Great Neck, N.Y., implemented a voluntary
corrective action program on more than 100,000 toaster and
convection ovens sold under the WELBILT brand name to
replace their power cords. If the power cords touch the back
of the oven, they could melt and expose wires, presenting a
serious shock hazard to consumers.
ACA has not received any reports of power cords
melting. This corrective action is being conducted to
prevent the possibility of injury.
The WELBILT toaster oven subject to this corrective
action is model TBR5. The model number and the Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) mark are located on the bottom of the
oven. The power cord is white. This oven is also a broiler,
rotisserie and griddle. The WELBILT convection ovens subject
to this corrective action are model GTC1 and CVN35. The
model number and the UL mark are located on the bottom of
the ovens. The power cord is white.
Department and mass merchandise stores, warehouse
clubs, mail order catalogs and television shopping networks
nationwide sold the ovens from January 1996 through December
1997 for about $99.
Consumers should stop using the ovens immediately and discard or destroy them. The firm is out of business, and cannot be contacted.
Both the toaster and convection ovens were manufactured
by Daysun Industries. Their new, black power cords are
listed by UL.
