Product Details

Brand Name: Frigidaire

Model: FFEF8054T6T
Incident Report Number: 6046209
Severity Type Name: First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional
Severity Type ID: 7

Incident Overview

On May 11, 2026, a consumer reported that the outer glass of their Frigidaire oven suddenly burst, throwing glass fragments throughout the kitchen. According to the CPSC incident report, the event occurred without any apparent impact or misuse, suggesting a spontaneous failure of the glass panel. The consumer sustained a laceration injury from the flying shards and received first aid from a non-medical professional.

The report, filed with the CPSC under ID 6046209, describes the glass as “bursting” and “throwing glass everywhere,” indicating a violent shattering event. The product, a Frigidaire FFEF8054T6T range, was used as intended at the time of the incident. The consumer did not mention any prior cracks, chips, or unusual sounds before the glass exploded. This type of failure poses an immediate laceration hazard to anyone nearby, particularly in a kitchen environment where people may be standing close to the oven.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: When oven glass bursts, it typically produces sharp, irregular shards that can fly at high velocity. These fragments can cause deep cuts, puncture wounds, and eye injuries. In this case, the consumer required first aid for a laceration, but more severe injuries—such as arterial cuts or eye damage—are possible if someone is closer or not wearing protective gear.

Long-Term Risks: Even after cleanup, tiny glass fragments may remain embedded in carpets, countertops, or food, posing ongoing laceration risks. Microscopic shards can be difficult to detect and may cause later injuries during cleaning or cooking.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in the vicinity of the oven at the time of failure is at risk. This includes the person using the oven, family members, and especially children, who may be at eye level with the glass and less able to react quickly to flying debris.

Warning Signs: While some glass failures give no warning, consumers should watch for visible cracks, chips, or stress marks on oven glass. A sudden change in the glass's appearance—such as a spiderweb pattern—may indicate internal stress that could precede a burst. However, many failures, like the one reported, occur without prior signs.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: If your oven's glass appears damaged or cracks, discontinue use until it can be inspected or replaced. A compromised glass panel may shatter without warning.

Preserve the Product: Keep the oven and any glass fragments in a safe place. Do not discard or repair the product, as it may be needed for investigation by the manufacturer or for potential legal claims.

Document the Incident: Take photographs of the damage, the surrounding area, and any injuries. Write down the date, time, and circumstances of the failure. This documentation can be crucial for reporting and any future claims.

Seek Medical Attention: Even if a laceration seems minor, clean the wound thoroughly and apply first aid. Deep cuts may require professional medical evaluation to prevent infection or remove embedded glass.

Contact the Manufacturer: Report the incident to Electrolux/White Consolidated. Provide the model number (FFEF8054T6T) and details of the failure. The manufacturer may offer a replacement or inspection.

Report to the CPSC: File a report at SaferProducts.gov to alert regulators and other consumers. This helps track potential defects and may lead to a recall.

Check for Recalls: Visit CPSC.gov to search for any recalls related to Frigidaire ovens or the specific model.
