Samsung is a big name in the field of electronic gadgets and home appliances. The company manufactures major products from smartphones to ACs, TVs, and fridges. If you are also a fan of Samsung and use the company’s products, then this news is for you. Although most of the company’s products have been successful, at present the company is facing problems regarding its products.

The company gave orders after the incidents came to light

Samsung has sold millions of electric ovens i.e. stoves since 2013. Now this electric stove has put the company in trouble. Many incidents have come to light due to this electric stove of Samsung, after which the company has ordered its recall. Let us tell you about it in detail.

Samsung has sold more than 1.1 million electric stoves in the US market since 2013. The company has received more than 250 complaints of fires caused by these stoves. In about 18 incidents, users have suffered huge property damage and pets have also lost their lives.

Electric stoves can be turned on even with a tap

About 40 people have been injured in incidents involving electric stoves. About eight of these people have also had to seek medical help. The electric models that Samsung has recalled include models sold from May 2013 to August 2024. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) informed last Thursday that these electric stoves have knobs on the front that can be turned on accidentally. Not only this, if a person or pet collides with them, they also turn on, which poses a risk of fire.
