The product, in the report: Cook Tek, Magna Wave, Single Position, Drop-In, Induction Cook Top
A catastrophic failure of a Cook Tek®, Magna Wave™, Induction, Single Position, Drop In-Cook Top stove, model MCD 3500 occurred on 10/07/2011 at [REDACTED].
According to witnesses, the ceramic cook surface exploded sending at least one ceramic fragment upwards with sufficient force to penetrate a dense, acoustical ceiling tile 9 feet above.
Witnesses indicated that the cook top was off and not in use when the incident occurred. In addition, it was reported that the unit had not been used the day of the incident and nothing had been dropped, spilled, stepped on or otherwise impacted the cook top surface.
Multiple witnesses reported hearing a “gun fire” type sound when the incident occurred.
Forensic inspection by the manufacturer indicated no evidence of an explosion or failure of internal components. The damaged unit powered up and tested normal aside from the broken ceramic cook surface.
Furthermore, the manufacturer speculated that something heavy must have been placed on the surface or that someone may have stepped on the cook top causing it to break.
However, neither of these claims explains the forceful launching of a ceramic fragment.
Investigation into the incident by [REDACTED], Office of Environmental Health and Safety is currently inconclusive.
Based on investigation information, for unknown reason there was a spontaneous, catastrophic failure of the ceramic cooking surface which resulted in a fragment puncturing through a ceiling tile located @ 9 feet above the cooking surface.
Fortunately, no one was injured. However, had a ceramic fragment struck a person with similar force, the outcome could have been serious or even tragic.
