Over 40,000 Wolf Pro-Style Ranges Recalled for Burn and Fire Risks
Models equipped with an infrared griddle can short-circuit if liquid boils over
Wolf has recalled about 44,000 pro-style ranges with built-in infrared griddles. If liquid boils over or is spilled on the range, a short circuit can turn on the griddle, potentially resulting in burns or a fire. According to a release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Wolf has received 36 reports of griddles accidentally activating, though no injuries have been reported. The recall applies to 27 different models with the affected griddle. They vary in size from 36 to 60 inches in width.
Consumer Reports has not tested any of the recalled models but has tested multiple models from the brand in the past. Currently, there is one Wolf pro-style range in our ratings.
