The product, in the report: Wolfgang Puck Kitchentek Pressure Oven (Countertop) - Silver Picture in Receipt attachment
Wolfgang Puck Pressure Oven. After turning switch to off, the timer continues to tick until it reaches the “Stay On” position. If it is still plugged in, the oven turns back on and continues to operate. This is a Fire Hazard. Even when unplugged, when knob is turned to the Off, the bell rings and then it begins ticking until it reaches the Stay On position.
After finding it several times with the light on and oven operating, I was thinking what is wrong with me that I am not turning it off properly. Upon closer examination, I determined it was the oven and not me. It does not matter which setting or what temperature it is set on.

No one hurt Made Dec 30, 2019, sent to the company Feb 6, 2020, published by CPSC Feb 21, 2020
The product, in the report: WOLFGANG PUCK Pressure Oven, Model BROR1002-A1
This item is a Wolfgang Puck Pressure/Toaster Oven. It has an “On/Off” Timer knob cook function, a light while cooking and a ticking sound during cooking. Normally when cooking is complete a bell will sound. At some point a while back unnoticed at first by me, the bell signal stopped functioning and later at times the Timer would not stop ticking. Gradually, the oven has become difficult to turn off. To clarify, when turning knob to off position, timer remains on and/or oven remains on. I’ve also discovered the slightest movement or vibration of oven causes the On/Off Timer knob switch on. Also, if using auto turn off function, oven may shut off, timer stays on then goes to “Stay On” position which turns the oven back on. I tried it today. I turned it oven off. No light was on. I returned about 20 minutes later to a very warm 350 degree lighted oven. This is a hazard in my opinion. Even when the timer continues to tick for an undetermined period of time. I attempted to contact W.P. Appliances to report this issue. The person I spoke with said there were no complaints of this type although she never asked my info, model number or any product details. I don’t understand how you can know if there are no complaints without product information. The only remedy I have is to unplug and discontinue use and report this issue.
