Hurt, no treatment Made May 1, 2012, sent to the company May 8, 2012, published by CPSC May 22, 2012
The product, in the report: Sanyo SK-CV8S, Convection Toaster Oven The unit is a countertop toaster oven, which comes with a removable oven rack and several dishes to ease baking/heating.
Product: Sanyo SK-CV8S, Convection Toaster Oven
I am writing because this unit has a fundamental design flaw that should disqualify it from the market: the oven rack has no fasteners to prevent it from falling out when trying to remove items from the oven. That means when you go to pull a 400 degree baking dish out of the unit, you need to put your hand entirely inside the unit in order to extricate the dish. If you do what a normal user would want to do and slide out the rack a few inches so you don’t have to put your hand within inches of the top heating rods, the entire rack tips forward and dumps your 400 degree food directly onto you!
I have had this incident happen to me several times to date, with items as relatively innocuous as toast (today) to items that present a real danger such as casserole (last month). I truly fear that if a consumer is not aware of this design flaw and goes to remove a hot dish from this convection oven with a child at his/her foot, there is a very real possibility of permanent burn injuries to that child.
After the rack fell completely out of the oven toward me the first time, I tried to be careful by not pulling the oven rack out too far. This, of course, brought my hand in contact with the top heating rods, scarring my left hand. The design flaw makes this product a “lose-lose” for users. If you want to pull your items out of the rack, you end up with your 400 degree food on your legs and feet. If you try to avoid the rack falling out, you end up burning your hands inside the unit.
I am taking the time to report this product because I truly believe you will see reports of burn injuries as a result of this product, with the unrestrained rack being responsible for most of these injuries.
