Two models of Westinghouse Glass Cooktops have been urgently recalled nationwide due to a major risk of injury. The brand is owned by Electrolux.
According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commision’s Product Safety page, “The glass in the cooktop does not comply with the Domestic Gas Cooking Appliances Standard,” meaning it could shatter into shards that could hit people and cause serious injury.
Owners of the 60cm three-burner and 90cm five-burner models have been urged to check the model number of their cooktop.
