Samsung is recalling over one million electric cookers in the United States due to accidental fires. These fires have injured 40 people and killed pets, as announced by the American agency responsible for consumer safety. The South Korean manufacturer, Samsung, is recalling more than one million electric cookers in the United States after dozens of fires. These household appliances are potentially very dangerous, as evidenced by the report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). According to the agency, Samsung brand cookers have already been involved in “about 250 fires” that have caused approximately 40 injuries, eight of which required medical treatment. Additionally, seven fires have led to the death of pets and 18 others have caused “significant property damage.” Owners of the 30 models affected, sold between 2013 and 2024, totaling over 1.1 million units, are advised to contact Samsung to obtain a free replacement of control knobs or lids, according to the CPSC statement. In another statement, the South Korean brand indicated that it had reported buttons being accidentally activated by people or animals bumping into them. The company does not mention any fires or animal deaths. The group recommends that people who continue to use the recalled models keep children and pets away from the buttons, carefully check after using the appliance, and not leave anything on it. The South Korean electronics and home appliances manufacturer, however, specifies that “consumers can continue to use their built-in electric cookers while waiting to receive their new set of free locking knobs or lids.” Samsung’s reputation for safety has taken a hit in the past. After the battery explosions of the Galaxy Note 7 in 2016, the company had to issue a global recall of its flagship smartphone, costing the Asian company billions of dollars. It is a gift that will please the athletes participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics. As an official partner, Samsung will distribute a special edition Olympic Games of its Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphone to the “approximately 17,000 athletes” present. Only North Koreans will not receive it, as indicated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Seoul is concerned that this gesture may violate UN sanctions against Pyongyang. The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that a Security Council resolution prohibits “the direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer to North Korea of any industrial machinery,” including smartphones.
