What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: No fires, injuries, or illnesses have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical—a potential gas leak and fire risk. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product without reported injury, consistent with Score 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

The internal aluminum burner tubes that connect to the gas valves may fracture. If this occurs, the cooktop may leak gas.
