Cooktop Recall

"More than 26,000 glass cooktops have been recalled because they can turn themselves on"

Tens of thousands of stovetops have been recalled, for the freakiest of reasons: They can turn themselves on.

The 26,300 glass cooktops -- sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid and JennAir brands -- were recalled Wednesday by Whirlpool, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The cooktops pose a burn and fire hazard, but the recall notice doesn't explain how the cooktops turn themselves on. The glass cooktops were manufactured from December 2016 through July 2019 and sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Best Buy and other stores from March 2017 through August 2019.

Oh, hell, no. I'm already surrounded by a kitchenfull of appliances that are smarter than I am. I assuredly do not need one that's psychotic, to boot.
