Let me start by saying, I like Wolf products a lot. We recently sold a home with a 60" DF Wolf range, and we miss it. We'd like to purchase a 48" Wolf DF for our new home, but have reservations due to this issue of cracking and chipping porcelain interiors. If it were just a cosmetic issue, that would be one thing, but having dozens of little glass shards blowing around in your oven has to be a food safety issue.

In researching this tonight, I iscovered that a lawsuit was filed July 9th in New York against Wolf regarding this issue. The plaintiffs are seeking class status. http://legalnewsline.com/stories/510625972-wolf-appliance-ovens-break-from-self-clean-function-lawsuit-says

Wolf Appliance ovens break from self-clean function, lawsuit says

Thursday, Jul 9, 2015 @ 12:43pm by Shaun Zinck

BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) - The maker of a high-end
dual fuel range oven is being sued over allegations its product breaks
during regular use.

Ivan and Melanie Kail filed the lawsuit on June 16 in United States
District Court in New York against Wolf Appliance claiming several
models of its Wolf Ovens with blue porcelain interiors are prone to chip
and crack while in use.

The lawsuit claims the chipping and cracking is due to the self-clean
function featured on the ovens. The suit names about 23 different models
of its Wolf Oven, and alleges the company falsely advertises the
product to customers.

The plaintiffs said in the suit that Wolf advertises that its ovens will
last a minimum of 20 years under heavy use. Wolf is aware of the issue,
the lawsuit claims, and has not complied with its two-year warranty
that it provides customers who purchase their ovens.

The plaintiffs are seeking class status for those who purchased a Wolf
Oven with the blue porcelain interior between March 13, 2011, and the
present. They are also seeking more than $5 million in damages plus
court costs.

The plaintiffs are represented by Mark S. Reich, Samuel H. Rudman and
Vincent M. Serra of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP in Melville,
N.Y.

United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York case number 2:15-cv-03513.
