Product Details

Brand Name: Frigidaire

Incident Report Number: 5908311
Severity Type Name: No First Aid or Medical Attention Received

Incident Overview

The consumer purchased the Frigidaire gas range on October 26, 2025, and it was delivered on October 30, 2025. The air fry mode was not used until after the new year, when the consumer received the air fry tray as a Christmas gift. On February 8, 2026, while using the air fry mode at 380°F, the consumer noticed a strong gas smell and then witnessed a buildup of gas that caused the oven door to open and slam shut without anyone near it.

A second incident occurred on February 18, 2026. The consumer was using the air fry mode at 350°F and allowed the oven to preheat. A strong gas smell was present. After the preheat beep, the consumer opened the oven door, and a large blue flame erupted from the oven onto the consumer's face and hair. The consumer reported hearing their hair sizzling. The consumer shut the oven door, placed the air fry tray down, patted their hair to ensure the fire was extinguished, and immediately turned off the oven. The consumer suffered burnt hair and pain on their face but did not require medical attention.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The reported gas buildup and flame eruption pose immediate burn risks to the user's face, hair, and hands. The force of the flame could also cause the oven door to open unexpectedly, as occurred in the first incident, creating additional injury hazards from hot surfaces or fire spread.

Warning Signs: A strong gas smell during air fry mode operation was the key warning sign reported. Any unnatural gas odor while using a gas range should be treated as a potential safety risk, especially if accompanied by unusual oven behavior such as the door opening on its own.

Environmental Triggers: The air fry mode may involve higher fan speeds or altered airflow compared to conventional baking, which could affect gas combustion and lead to unburned gas accumulation. The specific temperature settings (380°F and 350°F) used in the reported incidents may be contributing factors.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary risk is to the person operating the oven, particularly when opening the door after preheating. Bystanders nearby could also be at risk if the flame erupts outward or if gas buildup causes an explosion.
