GE Appliances Recalls Electric Cooktops Due to Burn Hazard

GE Appliances, a Haier Company, recalls knob-controlled electric radiant cooktops due to a burn hazard. The cooktops’ burners can remain on after use, even after being turned to the “off” position, posing a risk of burns to consumers.

The recall involves GE-branded JP3030 knob-controlled electric radiant cooktops manufactured from July 2022 through September 2022 with serial numbers beginning with prefixes LT, MT, RT, or ST. Consumers can identify the serial number on a label on the cooktop’s underside.

The hazard is caused by misaligned burner knob stems and fractured burner knob components that can exist in units manufactured between July 2022 and September 2022. These defects can cause the burners to remain on even after being turned off, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

GE Appliances has received 30 reports of incidents involving the recalled cooktops, including 16 reports of minor burns. The company urges consumers to stop using the recalled cooktops immediately and contact GE Appliances to arrange a free repair.
