Recall by: CPSC;  Electrolux Home Products


Problem:  Frigidaire Stainless-Steel 30-inch 4 Burner and 36-inch 5 Burner Gas Cooktops have plastic control knobs with a black shaft that tend to crack and break leading to gas leaks with fire and possible explosion risks.


Sold:  About 77,000 of these gas cooktops were sold at Lowe’s, The Home Depot, and other independent appliance stores nationwide.


Actions:  Immediately stop using these gas cooktops, and check to see if your unit has control knobs with black shafts.  If so, contact Electrolux at 1-800-314-3998 or via email at [email protected] to receive a free set of replacement knobs.  If you have chrome-colored knob shafts, you’re all set.
