GE Brand 30” Knob-Controlled Electric Radiant Cooktops recalled due to burn hazard

Issue

The cooktop’s burners can remain on after being turned to the “off” position, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Affected products

This recall involves certain models of GE Brand 30” knob-controlled electric radiant cooktops. The cooktop can be identified by the model number, UPC and serial number listed in the table below. The model and serial number is found on the product label located on the bottom of the unit near the location of the front left burner.

What you should do

Consumers should contact MC Commercial to arrange for free installation of a replacement burner knob assembly. When not in use, turn the unit off at the circuit breaker. Do not leave flammable materials or empty cookware on or near the cooktop. In the affected units, the burner can remain on following use even after being turned to the “off” position. In this case, the “On” indicator light will not be illuminated, but the “Hot Cooktop” light corresponding to the burner will remain illuminated until power to the cooktop is turned off at the breaker switch.
