In one widely publicized incident, a TikTok user’s new KitchenAid oven exploded during its first use, shattering the glass door and scattering dangerous shards throughout the oven. This incident, which caused injuries to the user’s feet, quickly went viral, accumulating over 348,000 views.
Widespread KitchenAid Oven Glass Door Defect Raises Consumer Safety Concerns
Despite marketing KitchenAid ovens as high-quality and durable kitchen appliances, consumer reports indicate a concerning pattern of tempered glass door explosions. In the viral TikTok video, the user revealed that KitchenAid acknowledged the defect as a “known issue” yet continued selling the affected models.
Additional complaints across online platforms like Reddit, TikTok, and consumer forums suggest this issue may not be limited to KitchenAid alone. Reports of glass door explosions in various oven brands have emerged, raising broader concerns about the safety of tempered glass in high-heat kitchen appliances.

Oven glass doors exploding during regular use, often without warning
