The organizations are voluntarily recalling 6,300 Blomberg and Summit brand freestanding electric ranges. The units were sold at AJ Madison and State Street Discount stores, as well as at other retail stores nationwide. They were also available for purchase through Amazon.com online. If you purchased a new range between October 2012 and March 2017, it is extremely important that look at this information carefully.
There are multiple models involved, as well as a range of serial numbers that you need to be able to identify on these recalled ranges. Model and serial numbers include…

These electric ranges can become energized due to a screw not being installed to secure the grounding strap during the manufacturing process. As you can probably tell, this poses a threat to your family’s safety and well-being. Personal injuries and death are highly possible. Our main concern with these types of posts is to keep you safe, but if you or a loved one becomes injured due to a product like this, just know that you do not have to take on these manufacturers alone.
