Health Canada issued a recall for several models of Samsung’s electric slide-in ranges due to safety concerns. The recall was prompted by the discovery that the front-mounted knobs on these ranges can ‘accidently activate,’ posing a risk of potential fire hazard in consumers’ homes. The affected models include those manufactured between 2016 and 2019, and were sold across Canada.
According to Health Canada, there have been several reports of incidents where the knobs on these ranges were inadvertently turned on, leading to overheating and, in some cases, fires. As a result, consumers are being urged to immediately stop using the affected ranges and contact Samsung for a free repair or replacement.
Samsung has acknowledged the issue and is working closely with Health Canada to address the safety concerns. In a statement released by the company, they emphasized their commitment to prioritizing consumer safety and ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to resolve the issue promptly.
Consumers who own a Samsung electric slide-in range are advised to check the model and serial numbers on their appliances to determine if they are included in the recall. If so, they should contact Samsung’s customer service hotline or visit their website for more information on how to proceed with the repair or replacement process.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of regularly checking household appliances for potential safety hazards. By staying informed and taking proactive measures to address any issues, consumers can help prevent accidents and protect their homes and loved ones from harm.
