Plain-English summary

Tema Dis Ticaret of Izmir, Turkey, is voluntarily recalling approximately 3,000 Teba brand multifunction ovens in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves Teba ovens with model number TFM-5 and a 1996 date code. The hazard is that the heating elements could accumulate moisture, causing electrical current to leak and presenting a potential shock hazard. CPSC and Tema are not aware of any injuries involving these ovens, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

The affected ovens are white multifunction cooking appliances that measure about 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 9.5 inches high. The brand name "Teba" is written on the front of the unit, and the packaging is labeled "Teba Cooking System." Consumers can identify the model number on a silver tag/plate below the UL symbol and the date code on a white sticker above the serial number on the back panel.

These ovens were sold nationwide from April 1996 through July 1997 for about $150 at department and discount stores, home supply centers, catalogs, and QVC. Consumers should stop using the ovens immediately and contact Tema's U.S. distributor, Aisenstein & Gordon Inc., at (609) 662-9324 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday to arrange a refund or replacement.
