The product, in the report: Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven https://ooni.com/products/ooni-karu?variant=32713728491617¤cy=USD&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=Ooni+Karu+12+Multi-Fuel+Pizza+Oven&utm_source=shopping&utm_campaign=Google_Shopping_US&utm_gcmpgn_typ=us-shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwp7eUBhBeEiwAZbHwkRtKRuhLtevnWokkweuB70rzAxZ58M2riz6S9sta80V4QwgheCu2_xoCCsgQAvD_BwE
This is regards to a Ooni Karu 12 Pizza Oven. The leg assembly do NOT lock into place. I received this oven for Christmas, December 2021 and have used it over a dozen times in the span of time. On Friday, 5/20/2022 I was making pizzas in my back yard. The oven was set on a level, metal table and I was making my 5th pizza I was making that night, the dough stuck to the pizza stone, when I tried to get the pizza peel (fancy word for big metal spatula) under the pizza, it nudged the oven back. The rear leg folds in toward the front of the oven - meaning that when the oven was nudged backwards, the leg folded toward the front. The legs do NOT lock into place by any means (dimple lock, pin, retardation mechanism). There are 2 legs in the front - the fold toward front of the oven, so when you push the oven backwards, the reach the maximum extent of the opening. Since the rear leg ALSO folds toward the front, it collapses into its closed position. This happened to me with hot coals burning in the rear compartment as per normal operation, but the back leg closed, the coals fell out onto the concrete ground, splashing embers into my mulch garden bed. I suffered a moderate burn to my arm getting the oven back into place before running inside my house to grab my fire-resistant BBQ gloves and pick everything up. Then I got a hose and watered the garden to put out the smoldering leaves and coals.
When I contacted Ooni I have received conflicting responses which prompted me to contact the CPSC. I provided videos replicating the rear leg folding in on concrete, travertine, and metal.
One message from Ooni stated “I can confirm, that the legs should extend and lock in to place. Have you had the issue from the beginning or perhaps it occurs unexpectedly?”
The next message from Ooni then stated “”I’ve reviewed the videos that you’ve sent with the team, and the legs do seem alright. Realistically, the legs folding in while the oven is in use shouldn’t happen. The legs themselves don’t lock into place, however, once they are fully open on a flat surface, the weight should keep them splayed out.”
I do not have faith in their response but will continue to try and work with them. I can recreate the rear leg folding down on multiple a flat surfaces, concrete, travertine, a metal table. The legs would either have to do one of two things when a parallel force is presented in the direction the legs “splay” out. The legs would either slide against the surface they are on, dangerous if the oven is elevated as it could then fall; or the feet of the leg would create enough friction against the surface to resist said force, and then close. Both scenarios are bad - what should happen is the feet provide enough friction, and the legs are prevented from closing - a gravity lock, self locking hinge, or even just a match friction dimple would work.
