Samsung microwave ovens recalled

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (UPI) --

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Samsung microwave ovens due to a shock hazard.

About 43,000 Over-The-Range microwave ovens were imported from Malaysia by Samsung Electronics America Inc. of Ridgefield Park, N.J.

The commission said an installation bolt could come in contact with an electronic component that, combined with plugging the unit into an ungrounded outlet, could cause a shock hazard.

The recall involves Samsung 1,000 watt microwave ovens.

Consumers were advised to unplug the ovens and contact Samsung to arrange for a repair of the unit.

Consumers can call 888-402-6974 for information.
