In cooperation with The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dynamic Cooking Systems Inc. of Huntington Beach, CA, U.S. has recalled about 1,400 of its DCS Wall Ovens.

Consumers were advised to stop using the recalled products. When the oven is in the self-cleaning mode, the oven's exterior door temperature exceeds the allowable surface temperature limits under the industry voluntary standard for household electric ranges. Sustained contact with the door during self-cleaning mode could cause burns. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled wall ovens come in single- or double-oven models in three color options -- stainless steel, black, or white. The Wall Oven/Single (WOS) models have these serial numbers indicating the date of manufacture in 2003 and 2004 (the blank can be any of the letters A through L): 03_00001A to 03_00155A and 04_00001A to 04_01093A. The Wall Oven/Double (WOSD) models have these serial numbers (the blank can be any of the letters A through L): 04_00001A to 04_00210A.

The ovens were sold at appliance dealers nationwide from January 2003 through May 2004 for between U.S. $2,179 and $3,920. They were manufactured in the U.S.
