GE recalling 92,000 microwaves

BOSTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Wednesday that General Electric Co (GE.N) is recalling 92,000 microwaves, saying that they pose a fire hazard.

It said the built-in combination wall and microwave ovens in question were sold at department and appliance stores from January 2000 to December 2003 and retailed for between $1,500 and $2,000.

It said GE knew of more than 30 cases of property damage but no injuries related to the problem. (Reporting by Scott Malone, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
